Hi all,
I am new to linux , hope someone can help me.
While i am reading the source code of the linux system call , i find that the system call need to call copy_from_user() to copy the data from user space to kernel space before using it . Why not use it directly as the system call has got the address ? Furthermore , how to distinguish between user space and kernel space ?
Thx a lot,
