I need to patch a system call using the sysent routine in a KEXT.

As has previously been noted in this thread, you can't do this. Patching the system call vectors is not supported.

Or better, is there another way to patch a system call inside a kext?


As a general rule, no.  There are, however lots of ways to do things.

Perhaps you could tell us what you're trying to do? Your website's down, but a quick bit of Googling suggests that this might have something to do with your SmartZip product.

There is probably a better, sustainable way to go about doing what you
want to do, and if not then having your needs discussed may help the
kernel improve in the future.
