Linus Torvalds 642e7fd233 Merge branch 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux 
Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
 "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
  Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
  compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
  syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.

  At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
  v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
  better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
  there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
  which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
  means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
  specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
  filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
  time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
  x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
  future.

  Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
  data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
  generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
  code.

  This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
  kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
  three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
  kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"
