Vincent Whitchurch b0b88e02f0 signal: print comm and exe name on fatal signals
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 681a90ffe8
("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".

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: don't include linux/file.h twice]

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
