The groups-related functions declared in include/linux/cred.h are defined in kernel/groups.c, which is compiled only when CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y. Move all these function declarations under #ifdef CONFIG_MULTIUSER to help avoid accidental usage in contexts where CONFIG_MULTIUSER might be disabled. This patch also adds a fallback for groups_search(). Currently this function is only called from kernel/groups.c itself and security/keys/permissions.c, where the call is (by coincidence) optimized away in case CONFIG_MULTIUSER=n. However, the audit subsystem (which does not depend on CONFIG_MULTIUSER) calls this function in -next, so the fallback will be needed to avoid compilation errors or ugly workarounds.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
