From 454dab3f965ec24fda8fbe135c8dad4c5b238a86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 21:34:04 +0100 Subject: fs: add ksys_getdents64() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_getdents64() Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_getdents64() 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_getdents64(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
