You misunderstood me, it's the other way around:
elf_core_dump walks the vma list twice and assumes that the segment
sizes don't change --> elf_core_dump needs a write lock to ensure that.

Dito: elf_core_dump walks the page tables without locking.

Attached is a beta version:

* remove {down,up}_read from fs/exec.c::do_coredump
* add down_read into each arch/*/process.c::dump_thread. Most of them
are probably save without the locking, but it's better for the
consistency. Most of them access mm->brk and perform some calculations.
* explicit memset(,0,) around all structures that are dumped in
fs/binfmt_elf.c: depending on the structure alignment, we could
otherwise leak kernel stack.
* Do not walk the vma list twice, copy it into a temporary kernel
buffer. down_write around it to prevent concurrent expand_stack.
* spin_lock(&current->mm->page_table_lock) around the code that walks
the page tables.
* all other binfmt's have trivial coredump implementation that only call
dump_thread, or no coredump at all.

I'll do more extensive testing tomorrow.
