From 2dae0248061e6a8a2cccfb2ad01a76f674e40d72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2018 11:34:27 +0100 Subject: fs: add do_readlinkat() helper; remove internal call to sys_readlinkat() Using the do_readlinkat() helper removes an in-kernel call to the sys_readlinkat() syscall. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
