Nice article. <br>
May be you would like to add below points as well.<br>
1. Some pointers on context switch when system call is invoked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Data transfer between user and kernel mode in brief.<br>
3. Mention of user mode helper calls in kernel. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am not sure what scope you have planned though but I think these points will help. </p>
