commit 3740d93e37902b31159a82da2d5c8812ed825404 upstream.
Commit 64e90a8acb859 ("Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate
call_usermodehelper()") added the optiont to disable all
call_usermodehelper() calls by setting STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to
an empty string. When this is done, and crashdump is triggered, it
will crash on null pointer dereference, since we make assumptions
over what call_usermodehelper_exec() did.
This has been reported by Sergey when one triggers a a coredump
with the following configuration:
```
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH=""
kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h %e
```
The way disabling the umh was designed was that call_usermodehelper_exec()
would just return early, without an error. But coredump assumes
certain variables are set up for us when this happens, and calls
ile_start_write(cprm.file) with a NULL file.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
