Subject[PATCH v2 nolibc 35/53] selftests/nolibc: prevent coredumps during test execution
Date
From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

The child process forked during stackprotector tests intentionally gets
killed with SIGABRT. By default this will trigger writing a coredump.
The writing of the coredump can spam the systems coredump machinery and
take some time.

Timings for the full run of nolibc-test:
Before: 200ms
After: 20ms

This is on a desktop x86 system with systemd-coredumpd enabled.
