kimage_alloc_init() expects a __user pointer, so compat_sys_kexec_load() uses compat_alloc_user_space() to convert the layout and put it back onto the user space caller stack. Moving the user space access into the syscall handler directly actually makes the code simpler, as the conversion for compat mode can now be done on kernel memory.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
