[PATCH 0/3] fs: Support compiling out the pivot_root syscall

Show all headers | View raw

From: Brian Ashworth <bosrsf04@gmail.com>

This patch series will allow for the pivot_root syscall to be made
optional. The first patch refactors the functions that are required
by pivot_root so they can be accessed outside of fs/namespace.c. The
second patch moves the pivot_root syscall to its own file. The third
adds a Kconfig option and conditional compilation to the Makefile.

The pivot_root syscall is not needed on systems that do not use
any intermediate filesystem. Allowing for pivot_root to be
ommitted from the kernel will aid in the tinification efforts.

Brian Ashworth (3):
  Makes functions used by pivot_root accessible
  Extracts pivot_root so it can be made optional
  Allows for the pivot_root syscall to be omitted
