Summary * Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all ctl_table sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL that worked in tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of the ctl_table arrays is no longer needed and has been removed. The sysctl register functions now returns an error if a sentinel is used. * Preparation patches for sysctl constification Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The ctl_table arguments in sysctl utility functions are const qualified in preparation for a future treewide proc_handler argument constification commit. * Misc fixes Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default ownership values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check proc_dou8vec_minmax to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl testing module a name to avoid compiler complaints. Testing * This got push to linux-next in v6.10-rc2, so it has had more than a month of testing -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCgAdFiEErkcJVyXmMSXOyyeQupfNUreWQU8FAmaWdz4ACgkQupfNUreW QU/WKQwAkSuUz42yCQye77BK+Z8ANcTF1f3aI/wfv2nahq1GaSrNBpqUiXvEe9Tt KD2lM1PWiQfizVLIDPh96yxa5q69GQrPPOA/V1jwIXmk/HRpjjoONCFNNXVRCTls VCqDz/RatuXvzO35Yn87MnWnxv6PiX7X/zq/3WikVsUI381kvTgC6OwZxdFM52w4 ESwOa3LeOovtRnqV5dpHr6DCQKyd0N52nPxgXvaerjlsJsv7PlezN7z9YyLOOfmW xUD7X6LQcJq7HcEukaB6I9o2GQOi4yYXL2YOzed7qu9Thu+lasEoN3Bd7P+ilXkc JY6EXJ5o+d69PewKRuJ1QvD7wrHIkhNMNbMtvehNay124wAHDy3KtonFzyvlX4wE qCHBYc6rySJNhSqwVp9MoksOZfDM99pVIOs9YVIjc90Zzu5J7tORgYWRVOHTcAtj fd8nMdkK3+ZANapygFCyew6GueIzaqlQwveVgLGw4vc5L3ClknmURit3y487Pzdg B+BEVlsp =bs2G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados: - Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array.
