Sudip Mukherjee a77daafc2e coredump: fix null pointer dereference on coredump
commit db973a7289dad24e6c017dcedc6aee886579dc3a upstream.

If the core_pattern is set to "|" and any process segfaults then we get
a null pointer derefernce while trying to coredump. The call stack shows:

    RIP: do_coredump+0x628/0x11c0

When the core_pattern has only "|" there is no use of trying the
coredump and we can check that while formating the corename and exit
with an error.

After this change I get:

    format_corename failed
    Aborting core

Fixes: 315c69261d ("coredump: split pipe command whitespace before expanding template")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
