Remove the now unneeded check for ctl_table_size; it is safe
to do so as sysctl_set_perm_empty_ctl_header() does not access the
ctl_table member anymore.
This also makes the element of sysctl_mount_point unnecessary, so drop
it at the same time.

Move the SYSCTL_TABLE_TYPE_{DEFAULT,PERMANENTLY_EMPTY} enums from
ctl_table to ctl_table_header.
Removing the mutable member is necessary to constify static instances
of struct ctl_table.
Move the initialization of the sysctl_mount_point type into
init_header() where all the other header fields are also initialized.
As a side-effect the memory usage of the sysctl core is reduced.
Each ctl_table_header instance can manage multiple ctl_table instances
and is only allocated when the table is actually registered.
This saves 8 bytes of memory per ctl_table on 64bit, 4 due to the enum
field itself and 4 due to padding.

It is used only twice and those callers are simpler with
sysctl_is_perm_empty_ctl_header().
So use this sibling function.
This is part of an effort to constify definition of struct ctl_table.
For this effort the mutable member 'type' is moved from
struct ctl_table to struct ctl_table_header.
Unifying the macros sysctl_is_perm_empty_ctl_* makes this easier.

Remove the 'table' argument from set_ownership as it is never used. This
change is a step towards putting "struct ctl_table" into .rodata and
eventually having sysctl core only use "const struct ctl_table".
The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:
@@
identifier func, head, table, uid, gid;

When registering tables to the sysctl subsystem there is a check to see
if header is a permanently empty directory (used for mounts). This check
evaluates the first element of the ctl_table. This results in an out of
bounds evaluation when registering empty directories.
The function register_sysctl_mount_point now passes a ctl_table of size
1 instead of size 0. It now relies solely on the type to identify
a permanently empty register.
Make sure that the ctl_table has at least one element before testing for
permanent emptiness.

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. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit
less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value:
- 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
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded
check for procname == NULL.
The last 2 patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow
us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the
alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups
super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing
but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's
also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now.

Setting softlockup_panic from do_sysctl_args() causes it to take effect
later in boot. The lockup detector is enabled before SMP is brought
online, but do_sysctl_args runs afterwards. If a user wants to set
softlockup_panic on boot and have it trigger should a softlockup occur
during onlining of the non-boot processors, they could do this prior to
commit f117955a22 ("kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot

The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl
alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values. If a user sets
an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid
parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed
to init. Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the
unknown boot parameter code. If an alias exists, don't return an error
or pass the value to init.

Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and
placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.
Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as
well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl
entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the
kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved.
Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of
kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move.
The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being
done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly
painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of
each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does
most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to
be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the
amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.
To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping
needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest
of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future
kernel releases.
At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build
time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about
~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future.
That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes
per array moved as no new sentinels are created.
Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.

This is a preparation commit to make it easy to remove the sentinel
elements (empty end markers) from the ctl_table arrays. It both allows
the systematic removal of the sentinels and adds the ctl_table_size
variable to the stopping criteria of the list_for_each_table_entry macro
that traverses all ctl_table arrays. Once all the sentinels are removed
by subsequent commits, ctl_table_size will become the only stopping
criteria in the macro. We don't actually remove any elements in this
commit, but it sets things up to for the removal process to take place.
By adding header->ctl_table_size as an additional stopping criteria for
the list_for_each_table_entry macro, it will execute until it finds an
"empty" ->procname or until the size runs out. Therefore if a ctl_table
array with a sentinel is passed its size will be too big (by one
element) but it will stop on the sentinel. On the other hand, if the
ctl_table array without a sentinel is passed its size will be just write
and there will be no need for a sentinel.

We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.
We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.
The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.
Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

The changes queued up for v6.5-rc1 for sysctl are in line with
prior efforts to stop usage of deprecated routines which incur
recursion and also make it hard to remove the empty array element
in each sysctl array declaration. The most difficult user to modify
was parport which required a bit of re-thinking of how to declare shared
sysctls there, Joel Granados has stepped up to the plate to do most of
this work and eventual removal of register_sysctl_table(). That work
ended up saving us about 1465 bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since

"The changes for sysctl are in line with prior efforts to stop usage of
deprecated routines which incur recursion and also make it hard to
remove the empty array element in each sysctl array declaration.
The most difficult user to modify was parport which required a bit of
re-thinking of how to declare shared sysctls there, Joel Granados has
stepped up to the plate to do most of this work and eventual removal
of register_sysctl_table(). That work ended up saving us about 1465

This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of
ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was
being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal"
and "permanently emtpy".
What changed?:
* Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the
default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero
so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local
context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the
new enum with kdoc.
* Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table
* Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to
calculate how many headers there are for every child
* Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no
need to traverse down the child tree any longer
* Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag
* Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c

Use copy_splice_read() for tty, procfs, kernfs and random files rather
than going through generic_file_splice_read() as they just copy the file

The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().
The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.
The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:
static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };
Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.
This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

Update the docs for __register_sysctl_table() to make it clear no child
entries can be passed. When the child is true these are non-leaf entries
on the ctl table and sysctl treats these as directories. The point to
__register_sysctl_table() is to deal only with directories not part of
the ctl table where thay may riside, to be simple and avoid recursion.
While at it, hint towards using long on extra1 and extra2 later.

Currently proc_dobool expects a (bool *) in table->data, but sizeof(int)
in table->maxsize, because it uses do_proc_dointvec() directly.
This is unsafe for at least two reasons:
1. A sysctl table definition may use { .data = &variable, .maxsize =
sizeof(variable) }, not realizing that this makes the sysctl unusable
(see the Fixes: tag) and that they need to use the completely
counterintuitive sizeof(int) instead.
2. proc_dobool() will currently try to parse an array of values if given
.maxsize >= 2*sizeof(int), but will try to write values of type bool
by offsets of sizeof(int), so it will not work correctly with neither
an (int *) nor a (bool *). There is no .maxsize validation to prevent
this.
Fix this by:
1. Constraining proc_dobool() to allow only one value and .maxsize ==
sizeof(bool).
2. Wrapping the original struct ctl_table in a temporary one with .data
pointing to a local int variable and .maxsize set to sizeof(int) and
passing this one to proc_dointvec(), converting the value to/from
bool as needed (using proc_dou8vec_minmax() as an example).
3. Extending sysctl_check_table() to enforce proc_dobool() expectations.
4. Fixing the proc_dobool() docstring (it was just copy-pasted from
proc_douintvec, apparently...).
5. Converting all existing proc_dobool() users to set .maxsize to
sizeof(bool) instead of sizeof(int).

This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a

conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems

For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
just cleanups.
I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
The last change was merged May 4th.
Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.

Creating a new netdevice allocates at least ~50Kb of memory for various
kernel objects, but only ~5Kb of them are accounted to memcg. As a result,
creating an unlimited number of netdevice inside a memcg-limited container
does not fall within memcg restrictions, consumes a significant part
of the host's memory, can cause global OOM and lead to random kills of
host processes.
The main consumers of non-accounted memory are:
~10Kb 80+ kernfs nodes
~6Kb ipv6_add_dev() allocations
6Kb __register_sysctl_table() allocations
4Kb neigh_sysctl_register() allocations

Accounting of these objects allows to increase the share of memcg-related
memory up to 60-70% (~38Kb accounted vs ~54Kb total for dummy netdevice
on typical VM with default Fedora 35 kernel) and this should be enough
to somehow protect the host from misuse inside container.
Other related objects are quite small and may not be taken into account
to minimize the expected performance degradation.
It should be separately mentonied ~300 bytes of percpu allocation
of struct ipstats_mib in snmp6_alloc_dev(), on huge multi-cpu nodes
it can become the main consumer of memory.
This patch does not enables kernfs accounting as it affects
other parts of the kernel and should be discussed separately.
However, even without kernfs, this patch significantly improves the
current situation and allows to take into account more than half
of all netdevice allocations.

Use the list_for_each_table_entry macro to optimize the scenario
of traverse ctl_table. This make the code neater and easier to
understand.

Rename sysctl_init() to sysctl_init_bases() so to reflect exactly what
this is doing.

Patch series "sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and
registration helper".
In this patch series we start addressing base directories, and so we
start with the "fs" sysctls. The end goal is we end up completely
moving all "fs" sysctl knobs out from kernel/sysctl.
This patch (of 6):
Add a set of helpers which can be used to declare and register base
directory sysctls on their own. We do this so we can later move each of
the base sysctl directories like "fs", "kernel", etc, to their own
respective files instead of shoving the declarations and registrations
all on kernel/sysctl.c. The lazy approach has caught up and with this,
we just end up extending the list of base directories / sysctls on one
file and this makes maintenance difficult due to merge conflicts from
many developers.
The declarations are used first by kernel/sysctl.c for registration its
own base which over time we'll try to clean up. It will be used in the
next patch to demonstrate how to cleanly deal with base sysctl
directories.

The maxolduid value is only shared for sysctl purposes for use on a max
range. Just stuff this into our shared const array.
