This was broken in f45b801551. Unfortunately
the review does not talk about backward compatibility at all. There are
two places where it matters:
- During upgrades, the replacement of kernel.core_pattern is asynchronous.
For example, during rpm upgrades, it would be updated a post-transaction
file trigger. In other scenarios, the update might only happen after
reboot. We have a potentially long window where the old pattern is in
place. We need to capture coredumps during upgrades too.
- With --backtrace. The interface of --backtrace, in hindsight, is not
great. But there are users of --backtrace which were written to use
a specific set of arguments, and we can't just break compatiblity.
One example is systemd-coredump-python, but there are also reports of
users using --backtrace to generate coredump logs.
Thus, we require the original set of args, and will use the additional args if
found.
A test is added to verify that --backtrace works with and without the optional
args.
