[PATCH -mm] coredump: format_corename: don't append .%pid if multi-threaded

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Tue Jul 22 2008 - 08:15:15 EST


If the coredumping is multi-threaded, format_corename() appends .%pid
to the corename. This was needed before the proper multi-thread core
dump support, now all the threads in the mm go into a single unified
core file.

Remove this special case, it is not even documented and we have "%p"
and core_uses_pid.
