    could someone kindly advise me on the location of some example code in
    the kernel which calls one of the userspace system calls from inside the
    kernel?

    alternatively if this has never been considered before, please could
    someone advise me as to how it might be achieved?

    thank you,

    l.

    [p.s. i found asm/unistd.h, i found the macros syscall012345
    etc., i believe i don't quite understand what these are for, and
    may be on the wrong track.]
