Merge branch 'remove-ksys-mount-dup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux
Pull ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() removal from Dominik Brodowski:
"This small series replaces all in-kernel calls to the
userspace-focused ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() with calls to
kernel-centric functions:
For each replacement of ksys_mount() with do_mount(), one needs to
verify that the first and third parameter (char *dev_name, char *type)
are strings allocated in kernelspace and that the fifth parameter
(void *data) is either NULL or refers to a full page (only occurence
in init/do_mounts.c::do_mount_root()). The second and fourth
parameters (char *dir_name, unsigned long flags) are passed by
ksys_mount() to do_mount() unchanged, and therefore do not require
particular care.
Moreover, instead of pretending to be userspace, the opening of
/dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr can be implemented using in-kernel
functions as well. Thereby, ksys_dup() can be removed for good"
[ This doesn't get rid of the special "kernel init runs with KERNEL_DS"
case, but it at least removes _some_ of the users of "treat kernel
pointers as user pointers for our magical init sequence".
One day we'll hopefully be rid of it all, and can initialize our
init_thread addr_limit to USER_DS. - Linus ]
