    hw breakpoints: Fix pid namespace bug · d958077d
    Matt Helsley authored
    Hardware breakpoints can't be registered within pid namespaces
    because tsk->pid is passed rather than the pid in the current
    namespace.
    
    (See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281 )
    
    This is a quick fix demonstrating the problem but is not the
    best method of solving the problem since passing pids internally
    is not the best way to avoid pid namespace bugs. Subsequent patches
    will show a better solution.
    
    Much thanks to Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> for doing the
    bulk of the work finding this bug.
