Subject[PATCH v2 28/36] fs: add do_symlinkat() helper and ksys_symlink() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall
Date
Using the fs-internal do_symlinkat() helper allows us to get rid of
internal calls to the sys_symlinkat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_symlink() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to the sys_symlink() syscall.
