    signal: print comm and exe name on fatal signals · b0b88e02
    Vincent Whitchurch authored
    Make the print-fatal-signals message more useful by printing the comm
    and the exe name for the process which received the fatal signal:
    
    Before:
    
     potentially unexpected fatal signal 4
     potentially unexpected fatal signal 11
    
    After:
    
     buggy-program: pool: potentially unexpected fatal signal 4
     some-daemon: gdbus: potentially unexpected fatal signal 11
    
    comm used to be present but was removed in commit 681a90ff
    ("arc, print-fatal-signals: reduce duplicated information") because it's
    also included as part of the later stack trace.  Having the comm as part
    of the main "unexpected fatal..." print is rather useful though when
    analysing logs, and the exe name is also valuable as shown in the
    examples above where the comm ends up having some generic name like
    "pool".
