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