Subject[RFC][v8][PATCH 8/10]: Define do_fork_with_pids()


Subject: [RFC][v8][PATCH 8/10]: Define do_fork_with_pids()

do_fork_with_pids() is same as do_fork(), except that it takes an
additional, 'pid_set', parameter. This parameter, currently unused,
specifies the set of target pids of the process in each of its pid
namespaces.

Changelog[v7]:
- Drop 'struct pid_set' object and pass in 'pid_t *target_pids'
instead of 'struct pid_set *'.

Changelog[v6]:
- (Nathan Lynch, Arnd Bergmann, H. Peter Anvin, Linus Torvalds)
Change 'pid_set.pids' to a 'pid_t pids[]' so size of 'struct pid_set'
is constant across architectures.
- (Nathan Lynch) Change 'pid_set.num_pids' to 'unsigned int'.

Changelog[v4]:
- Rename 'struct target_pid_set' to 'struct pid_set' since it may
be useful in other contexts.

Changelog[v3]:
- Fix "long-line" warning from checkpatch.pl

Changelog[v2]:
- To facilitate moving architecture-inpdendent code to kernel/fork.c
pass in 'struct target_pid_set __user *' to do_fork_with_pids()
rather than 'pid_t *' (next patch moves the arch-independent
code to kernel/fork.c)
