Subject[PATCH 01/45] fs: add ksys_getdents64() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_getdents64()
Date
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 tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
