Merge tag 'sysctl-6.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work.
In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer
as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at
all"
