Summary * Removed sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/* Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline through their respective subsystems making the next release the most likely place where the final series that removes the check for proc_name == NULL will land. This PR adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/. * Adjusted ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification Adjustments: - Removing unused ctl_table function arguments - Moving non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header - Making ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas Weißschuh. Testing * These changes went into linux-next after v6.9-rc4; giving it a good month of testing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCgAdFiEErkcJVyXmMSXOyyeQupfNUreWQU8FAmZFvBMACgkQupfNUreW QU/eGAv9EWeiXKxr3EVSMAsb9MWbJq7C99I/pd5hMf+qH4PgJpKDH7w/sb2e8h8+ unGiW83ikgrtph7OS4/xM3Y9r3Nvzd6C/OztqgMnNKeRFdMgP7wu9HaSNs05ordb CqJdhvL93quc5HxrGTS9sdLK/wLJWOHwuWMXhX4qS44JNxTdPV2q10Rb7DZyHZ6O C9qp61L2Q2CrnOBKIx8MoeCh20ynJQAo3b0pTN63ZYF4D0vqCcnYNNTPkge4ID8/ ULJoP5hAQY0vJ4g4fC4Gmooa5GECpm8MfZUf3SdgPyauqM/sm3dVdsLXAWD4Phcp TsG2a/5KMYwnLHrUGwDW7bFfEemRU88h0Iam56+SKMl1kMlEpWaLL9ApQXoHFayG e10izS+i/nlQiqYIHtuczCoTimT4/LGnonCLcdA//C3XzBT5MnOd7xsjuaQSpFWl /CV9SZa4ABwzX7u2jty8ik90iihLCFQyKj1d9m1mDVbgb6r3iUOxVuHBgMtY7MF7 eyaEmV7l =/rQW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados: - Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/* Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array.
