There's no note about it in man-pages 2.79. I have added
--- cut --
Using the infrastructure created in previous patches implement support
to pipe core dumps into programs.
This is done by overloading the existing core_pattern sysctl
with a new syntax:
|program
When the first character of the pattern is a '|' the kernel will
instead threat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The
core dump will be written to the standard input of that program
instead of to a file.
This is useful for having automatic core dump analysis without
filling up disks. The program can do some simple analysis and save only
a summary of the core dump.
The core dump proces will run with the privileges and in the name space
of the process that caused the core dump.

inform upstream?
