Using this wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_rmdir() 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_rmdir(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

Using this wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_unlink() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant s a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_unlink(). In the near future, all callers of ksys_unlink() should be converted to call do_unlinkat() directly or, at least, to operate on regular kernel pointers. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_write() 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_write(). In the near future, the do_mounts / initramfs callers of ksys_write() should be converted to use filp_open() and vfs_write() instead. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_chroot() 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_chroot(). In the near future, the fs-external callers of ksys_chroot() should be converted to use kern_path()/set_fs_root() directly. Then ksys_chroot() can be moved within sys_chroot() again. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

Using ksys_dup() and ksys_dup3() as helper functions allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_dup() and sys_dup3() syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same calling convention as sys_dup{,3}(). In the near future, the fs-external callers of ksys_dup{,3}() should be converted to call do_dup2() directly. Then, ksys_dup{,3}() can be moved within sys_dup{,3}() again. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the sys_umount() 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 ksys_umount(). In the near future, the only fs-external caller of ksys_umount() should be converted to call do_umount() directly.
