Thanks for your advice,
I already know one way to accomodate shared memory between a user process and the kernel. This is done by making a character device which allocates memory in the kernel, then from the user appl, using the mmap function of the driver.
I was only wondering why I could not link my code with the kernel, though they are compiled together, this means I should be able to use any function in the kernel files as long as I succeed to define it right
So in my question X would be any application, Y would be linking my code with the kernel and Z would be to get more control over structures
