From a78282e2c94f4ca80a2d7c56e4d1e9546be5596d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:39:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "binfmt_elf, coredump: Log the reason of the failed core dumps" This reverts commit fb97d2eb542faf19a8725afbd75cbc2518903210. The logging was questionable to begin with, but it seems to actively deadlock on the task lock. "On second thought, let's not log core dump failures. 'Tis a silly place" because if you can't tell your core dump is truncated, maybe you should just fix your debugger instead of adding bugs to the kernel.
