that was used for creating kernel threads, by calling int 0x80 for fork/clone.
Shouldn't that be the other way around? I would think that you'd normally have a kernel function that creates threads, and the fork/clone API calls that function.
So can I use this mechanism to call any system call from kernel space? In which file is this mechanism prototyped?
