    tracing: Place trace_pid_list logic into abstract functions · 6954e415
    Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
    Instead of having the logic that does trace_pid_list open coded, wrap it in
    abstract functions. This will allow a rewrite of the logic that implements
    the trace_pid_list without affecting the users.
    
    Note, this causes a change in behavior. Every time a pid is written into
    the set_*_pid file, it creates a new list and uses RCU to update it. If
    pid_max is lowered, but there was a pid currently in the list that was
    higher than pid_max, those pids will now be removed on updating the list.
    The old behavior kept that from happening.
    
    The rewrite of the pid_list logic will no longer depend on pid_max,
    and will return the old behavior.
