Subject[PATCH 08/45] fs: add kern_select() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_select()
Date
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the sys_umount()
syscall.

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.
