[PATCH 5/6] exec: add a kernel_execveat helper
From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu Jun 18 2020 - 10:47:20 EST
Add a kernel_execveat helper to execute a binary with kernel space argv
and envp pointers. Switch executing init and user mode helpers to this
new helper instead of relying on the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for early
init code and kernel threads, and move the getname call into the
do_execve helper.
