From e7dc9ad6e98eb8cc49b454d54e361f91aebc395f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2018 16:12:22 +0100 Subject: mm: add kernel_mbind() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall Using the mm-internal kernel_mbind() helper allows us to get rid of the mm-internal call to the sys_mbind() 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.
