Subject[PATCH] VFS: Prevent core dump with core_pattern set to empty string
Date
If the core_pattern (proc/sys/core_pattern) is set to an empty string
a core dump is still made but to a file with a filename set by an
uninitialized buffer in format_corename(). This patch fixes the use of the
uninitialized buffer and also aborts the core dump with a warning message
when core_pattern is set to an empty string.

Tested and developed against 3.11-rc2
