From 312db1aa1dc7bff133d95c92efcc5e42b57cefa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2018 11:34:39 +0100 Subject: fs: add ksys_mount() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mount() Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mount() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mount(). In the near future, all callers of ksys_mount() should be converted to call do_mount() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
