A bit messy ;)

I am wondering if we can simply do

static inline bool current_no_new_privs(void)
{
if (current->no_new_privs)
return true;

#ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP
if (test_thread_flag(TIF_SECCOMP))
return true;
#endif

return false;

return test_bit(SECCOMP_FLAG_NO_NEW_PRIVS, &p->seccomp.flags);
}

instead ?

Oleg.
