    Uninline find_task_by_xxx set of functions · 228ebcbe
    Pavel Emelyanov authored
    The find_task_by_something is a set of macros are used to find task by pid
    depending on what kind of pid is proposed - global or virtual one.  All of
    them are wrappers above the most generic one - find_task_by_pid_type_ns() -
    and just substitute some args for it.
    
    It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction
    and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to
    grow.
    
    This patch moves all this stuff out-of-line into kernel/pid.c.  Together
    with the next patch it saves a bit less than 400 bytes from the .text
    section.
