you are welcome, if you really want to implement injection in kernel
space (IMHO, i'm not sure that it would be easier), you can look at
here:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vdso.7.html

Kernel maps vdso in user space app memory (though it's possible to
disable vdso all together, AFAIK), so if you can add your injection
in vdso, kernel will map your code in an application address space.
