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. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- 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.
