The kernel uses open code to check if a process is in root PID namespace or not in several places.
Suggested by Suzuki, this patch set is to create a helper function task_is_in_root_ns() so we can use it replace open code.
To test this patch set, I built Arm64 kernel with enabling all relevant modules, and verified the kernel with CoreSight module on Arm64 Juno board.
Leo Yan (7): pid: Introduce helper task_is_in_root_ns() coresight: etm3x: Use task_is_in_root_ns() to check PID namespace coresight: etm4x: Use task_is_in_root_ns() to check PID namespace connector/cn_proc: Use task_is_in_root_ns() to check PID namespace coda: Use task_is_in_root_ns() audit: Use task_is_in_root_ns() taskstats: Use task_is_in_root_ns()
