  • After having started writing the coredump, if filesystem reports an error
    anytime while writing part of the core file, we would leak a memory page
    when bailing out.

  • My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting
    them into other newly created *.c files. Then, each files will contain
    dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the
    same. So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek().
    Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files.
