Subject: [PATCH 2/4] pid: Export find_task_by_vpid for use in external modules
Date: Tue, 8 May 2018 14:06:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180508140640.0e312dba025df75cbf205cdb@arm.com> (raw)

This patch is in the context of allowing the Coresight h/w
trace driver suite to be loaded as modules.  Coresight uses
find_task_by_vpid when running in direct capture mode (via sysfs)
when getting/setting the context ID comparator to trigger on
(/sys/bus/coresight/devices/<x>.etm/ctxid_pid).

A quick look didn't find anything, but if Coresight needs to do
something differently, please comment.
