Modified files:
sys/kern kern_sig.c
Log:
When generate a core dump, use advisory locking in an advisory way:
if we do acquire an advisory lock, great! We'll release it later.
However, if we fail to acquire a lock, we perform the coredump
anyway. This problem became particularly visible with NFS after
the introduction of rpc.lockd: if the lock manager isn't running,
then locking calls will fail, aborting the core dump (resulting in
a zero-byte dump file).
