[PATCH 32/45] ipc: add semctl syscall/compat_syscall wrappers

From: Dominik Brodowski
Date: Thu Mar 22 2018 - 05:06:37 EST


Provide ksys_semctl() and compat_ksys_semctl() wrappers to avoid in-kernel
calls to these 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_semctl() and compat_sys_semctl().

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
