Un-inline the core-dump helper functions

torvalds · torvalds · commit 3aa0ce825ade · 2010-10-14T14:32:06.000-07:00
Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9a ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already are.
