[PATCH v2 32/36] fs: add do_faccessat() helper and ksys_access() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall

From: Dominik Brodowski
Date: Thu Mar 15 2018 - 15:10:10 EST


Using the fs-internal do_faccessat() helper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_faccessat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_access() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to the sys_access() syscall.
