Series arm64: invoke syscalls with pt_regs | expand

Commit Message

Mark Rutland May 14, 2018, 9:46 a.m. UTC
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the
sys_personality() 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_personality().

This is necessary to enable conversion of arm64's syscall handling to
use pt_regs wrappers.

Plese just opencode the trivial sys_personality logic instead.

Sure, I'll make that a static inline in <linux/syscalls.h> as with
ksys_close() and friends.

Thanks,
Mark.
