+	  The sigkill is very special. If a process receives a sigkill, it
will
+	  immediately respond to the sigkill. When a process is abnormal and
+	  collecting coredump, the do_coredump flow will be interrupted by
+	  SIGKILL, causing the coredump to be truncated. This truncated
coredump
+	  is incomplete, and also gdb can't load.
+	  Maybe we can ignore any signlas when process is collecting coredump.
+	  This config can decide whether to ignore any signals.
