4154342bf1 utsname: constify ctl_table arguments of utility function
The sysctl core is preparing to only expose instances of
struct ctl_table as "const".
This will also affect the ctl_table argument of sysctl handlers.

As the function prototype of all sysctl handlers throughout the tree
needs to stay consistent that change will be done in one commit.

To reduce the size of that final commit, switch utility functions which
are not bound by "typedef proc_handler" to "const struct ctl_table".

No functional change.

11a921909f kernel misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove the sentinel from ctl_table arrays. Reduce by one the values used
to compare the size of the adjusted arrays.

3d51cd8ea3 utsname: simplify one-level sysctl registration for uts_kern_table
There is no need to declare an extra tables to just create directory,
this can be easily be done with a prefix path with register_sysctl().

Simplify this registration.

52826d3b2d kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: Fix hostname polling
Commit bfca3dd3d0 ("kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: print kernel arch") added
a new entry to the uts_kern_table[] array, but didn't update the
UTS_PROC_xyz enumerators of older entries, breaking anything that used
them.

Which is admittedly not many cases: it's really just the two uses of
uts_proc_notify() in kernel/sys.c.  But apparently journald-systemd
actually uses this to detect hostname changes.

37608ba315 utsname: contribute changes to RNG
On some small machines with little entropy, a quasi-unique hostname is
sometimes a relevant factor. I've seen, for example, 8 character
alpha-numeric serial numbers. In addition, the time at which the hostname
is set is usually a decent measurement of how long early boot took. So,
call add_device_randomness() on new hostnames, which feeds its arguments
to the RNG in addition to a fresh cycle counter.

Low cost hooks like this never hurt and can only ever help, and since
this costs basically nothing for an operation that is never a fast path,
this is an overall easy win.

32927393dc sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being

In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx >

init UTS namespace only.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
