From 3ce4a7bf66263748194b77ccefd284be963c6304 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 21:56:26 +0100 Subject: fs: add ksys_read() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_read() Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_read() 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_read(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
