Since kernel v6.17, we can set a path to unix socket to core_pattern (with request mode). See also: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250603-work-coredump-socket-protocol-v2-0-05a5f0c18ecc@kernel.org/ This introduces a tiny service that prepares and listens on a UNIX socket to be passed to the kernel core pattern. When a process is crashed, the kernel connects to the socket, and sends information about the crashed process and passes coredump through the socket. The service accepts the connection, and forks a worker process that receives coredump from the kernel.
