Pull coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains an extension to the coredump socket and a proper rework
of the coredump code.
- This extends the coredump socket to allow the coredump server to
tell the kernel how to process individual coredumps. This allows
for fine-grained coredump management. Userspace can decide to just
let the kernel write out the coredump, or generate the coredump
itself, or just reject it.
* COREDUMP_KERNEL
The kernel will write the coredump data to the socket.
* COREDUMP_USERSPACE
The kernel will not write coredump data but will indicate to the
parent that a coredump has been generated. This is used when
userspace generates its own coredumps.
* COREDUMP_REJECT
The kernel will skip generating a coredump for this task.
* COREDUMP_WAIT
The kernel will prevent the task from exiting until the coredump
server has shutdown the socket connection.
The flexible coredump socket can be enabled by using the "@@"
prefix instead of the single "@" prefix for the regular coredump
socket:
@@/run/systemd/coredump.socket
- Cleanup the coredump code properly while we have to touch it
anyway.
Split out each coredump mode in a separate helper so it's easy to
grasp what is going on and make the code easier to follow. The core
coredump function should now be very trivial to follow"

The coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client test occasionally fails:
# RUN coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client ...
# stackdump_test.c:500:socket_detect_userspace_client:Expected 0 (0) != WIFEXITED(status) (0)
# socket_detect_userspace_client: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client
not ok 3 coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client
because there is no guarantee that client's write() happens before server's
close(). The client gets terminated SIGPIPE, and thus the test fails.
Add a read() to server to make sure server's close() doesn't happen before
client's write().

The test's runtime (nearly 20s) is dangerously close to the limit (30s) on
qemu-system-riscv64:
$ time ./stackdump_test > /dev/null
real 0m19.210s
user 0m0.077s
sys 0m0.359s
There could be machines slower than qemu-system-riscv64. Therefore raise
the test timeout to 2 minutes to be safe.

The test waits for coredump to finish by busy-waiting for the stack_values
file to be created. The maximum wait time is 10 seconds.
This doesn't work for slow machine (qemu-system-riscv64), because coredump
takes longer.
Fix it by waiting for the crashing child process to finish first.

The buffer pointer "line" is not initialized. This pointer is passed to
getline().
It can still work if the stack is zero-initialized, because getline() can
work with a NULL pointer as buffer.
But this is obviously broken. This bug shows up while running the test on a
riscv64 machine.
Fix it by properly initializing the pointer.

Add a test which checks that the kstkesp field in /proc/pid/stat can be
read for all threads of a coredumping process.
For full details including the motivation for this test and how it works,
see the README file added by this commit.
