Define do_get{pid,ppid}() for all architectures.

Change sys_get{pid,ppid}() to be wrappers for them, except on Alpha.
While we're at it, move them to the more obvious kernel/pid.c.

Change all callers accordingly.

This is preparation for fixing sys_getxgid() on Alpha.

This applies on top of a previous quick-fix for TOMOYO
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.lsm/11708> which I hope to
see applied in 2.6.36.

Ben.

sys_getxpid() was not following RCU protocol or considering namespace
visibility for the parent pid.  Change it to call do_geptpid() which
does the right thing.

This is totally untested, and I've never written Alpha assembly before,
so this definitely needs review and testing by an Alpha porter.

I've left the shortcut tgid lookup there as I assume it is still valid.

Ben.

I think I have a better variant, getting rid of asm magic completely.
Basically, in ptrace.h have
#define current_pt_regs() \
        ((struct pt_regs *)(current_thread_info() + 2*PAGE_SIZE) - 1)

(and turn force_successful_syscall_return() into (current_pt_regs()->r0 = 0),
while we are at it) and do what I'm doing for e.g. getxgid and alpha_pipe:
SYSCALL_DEFINE0(getxgid)
{
        struct cred *cred = current->cred;
        current_pt_regs()->r20 = cred->egid;
        return cred->gid;
}

SYSCALL_DEFINE0(alpha_pipe)
{
        int fd[2];
        int res = do_pipe_flags(&fd, 0);
        if (!res) {
                /* The return values are in $0 and $20.  */
                current_pt_regs()->r20 = fd[1];
                res = fd[0];
        }
        return res;
}

I planned to hold it back until the merge window, since it's not a bugfix,
but with that one... what the hell, might as well do it.  Less asm glue
is a Good Thing(tm).

One problem with your patch, though:

; git grep do_getppid
;

IOW, which tree is that against?

The previous patch
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.alpha/1165>, which I don't
intend to go into 2.6.36.
