Hello, I have never looked into the git sources before, so I am spamming a lot of people found in git-log grep.c Yesterday I tried to teach my text editor to use "git grep -p" and I noticed that it doesn't work as I'd expect. The changelog has a simple test-case, but let me also provide "real life" example. When I do :git-grep -pw pid kernel/sys.c in my editor before this patch, I get kernel/sys.c 224 sys_setpriority struct pid *pgrp; kernel/sys.c 294 sys_getpriority struct pid *pgrp; kernel/sys.c 952 * Note, despite the name, this returns the tgid not the pid. The tgid and kernel/sys.c 953 * the pid are identical unless CLONE_THREAD was specified on clone() in kernel/sys.c 963 /* Thread ID - the internal kernel "pid" */ kernel/sys.c 977 sys_getppid int pid; kernel/sys.c 980 sys_getppid pid = task_tgid_vnr(rcu_dereference(current->real_parent)); kernel/sys.c 983 sys_getppid return pid; kernel/sys.c 1073 SYSCALL_DEFINE2(setpgid, pid_t, pid, pid_t, pgid) kernel/sys.c 1077 sys_times struct pid *pgrp; kernel/sys.c 1080 sys_times if (!pid) kernel/sys.c 1081 sys_times pid = task_pid_vnr(group_leader); kernel/sys.c 1083 sys_times pgid = pid; kernel/sys.c 1094 sys_times p = find_task_by_vpid(pid); kernel/sys.c 1120 sys_times if (pgid != pid) { kernel/sys.c 1144 static int do_getpgid(pid_t pid) kernel/sys.c 1147 sys_times struct pid *grp; kernel/sys.c 1151 sys_times if (!pid) kernel/sys.c 1155 sys_times p = find_task_by_vpid(pid); kernel/sys.c 1172 SYSCALL_DEFINE1(getpgid, pid_t, pid) kernel/sys.c 1174 sys_times return do_getpgid(pid); kernel/sys.c 1186 SYSCALL_DEFINE1(getsid, pid_t, pid) kernel/sys.c 1189 sys_getpgrp struct pid *sid; kernel/sys.c 1193 sys_getpgrp if (!pid) kernel/sys.c 1197 sys_getpgrp p = find_task_by_vpid(pid); kernel/sys.c 1214 static void set_special_pids(struct pid *pid) kernel/sys.c 1218 sys_getpgrp if (task_session(curr) != pid) kernel/sys.c 1219 sys_getpgrp change_pid(curr, PIDTYPE_SID, pid); kernel/sys.c 1221 sys_getpgrp if (task_pgrp(curr) != pid) kernel/sys.c 1222 sys_getpgrp change_pid(curr, PIDTYPE_PGID, pid); kernel/sys.c 1228 ksys_setsid struct pid *sid = task_pid(group_leader); kernel/sys.c 1684 SYSCALL_DEFINE4(prlimit64, pid_t, pid, unsigned int, resource, kernel/sys.c 1705 check_prlimit_permission tsk = pid ? find_task_by_vpid(pid) : current; And only the first 5 funcnames are correct. After this patch I get kernel/sys.c 224 sys_setpriority struct pid *pgrp; kernel/sys.c 294 sys_getpriority struct pid *pgrp; kernel/sys.c 952 * Note, despite the name, this returns the tgid not the pid.
