![]() 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCgAwFiEENnNq2KuOejlQLZofziMdCjCSiKcFAmVCqKsSHG1jZ3JvZkBr ZXJuZWwub3JnAAoJEM4jHQowkoinEgYQAIpkqRL85DBwems19Uk9A27lkctwZ6Fc HdslQCObQTsbuKVimZFP4IL2beUfUE0cfLZCXlzp+4nRDOf6vyhyf3w19jPQtI0Q YdqwTk9y6G5VjDsb35QK0+UBloY/kZ1H3/LW4uCwjXTuksUGmWW2Qvey35696Scv hDMLADqKQmdpYxLUaNi9QyYbEAjYtOai2ezg3+i7hTG168t1k/Ab2BxIFrPVsCR2 FAiq05L4ugWjNskdsWBjck05JZsx9SK/qcAxpIPoUm4nGiFNHApXE0E0hs3vsnmn WIHIbxCQw8ZlUDlmw4S+0YH3NFFzFbWfmW8k2b0f2qZTJm/rU4KiJfcJVknkAUVF raFox6XDW0AUQ9L/NOUJ9ip5rup57GcFrMYocdJ3PPAvvmHKOb1D1O741p75RRcc 9j7zwfIRrzjPUqzhsQS/GFjdJu3lJNmEBK1AcgrVry6WoItrAzJHKPPDC7TwaNmD eXpjxMl1sYzzHqtVh4hn+xkUYphj/6gTGMV8zdo+/FopFswgeJW9G8kHtlEWKDPk MRIKwACmfetP6f3ngHunBg+BOipbjCANL7JI0nOhVOQoaULxCCPx+IPJ6GfSyiuH AbcjH8DGI7fJbUkBFoF0dsRFZ2gH8ds1PYMbWUJ6x3FtuCuv5iIuvQYoaWU6itm7 6f0KvCogg0fU =Qf50 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.7-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.
