Commit Message

Thomas Weißschuh May 26, 2023, 6:30 a.m. UTC
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.
