Alexey Dobriyan d5a572a4cb proc: calculate end pointer for /proc/*/* lookup at compile time
Compilers like to transform loops like

	for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
		[use p[i]]
	}

into
	for (p = p0; p < end; p++) {
		...
	}

Do it by hand, so that it results in overall simpler loop
and smaller code.

Space savings:

	$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-001 ../obj/vmlinux
	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 4/-9 (-5)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	proc_tid_base_lookup                          17      19      +2
	proc_tgid_base_lookup                         17      19      +2
	proc_pident_lookup                           179     170      -9

The same could be done to proc_pident_readdir(), but the code becomes
bigger for some reason.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
