[PATCH 020/109] net: socket: add __sys_getsockopt() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Using the net-internal helper __sys_getsockopt() allows us to avoid the
internal calls to the sys_getsockopt() 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. For details, see
