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 we gained a few bloat-o-meter karma points I moved two rather small sysctl arrays from kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl arrays to move left. Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The last straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated sysctl child element. This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty array element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is expected to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work will be tested early after v6.5-rc1 is out. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCgAwFiEENnNq2KuOejlQLZofziMdCjCSiKcFAmSceh0SHG1jZ3JvZkBr ZXJuZWwub3JnAAoJEM4jHQowkoinBFQQAK9WdpcU8ODoDzoSls4jsCQpZUCfZ+ED pbCgQqUqu9VPs6bnJ+aXVa6Fh3uCr6+TIfNFM55qI/Sbo2issZ7bm0nvKmGgc6/m giqDP7btvHqiAsEootci8DVdbBXKkdH4dx3pSwleyN8pdinewH0hrKImaPpahyo6 1mB1du0iI89yjsZmheHVVSyfXXYAnP0PqRVy5Y+qxY7yYlIegQ5uAZmwRE62lfTf TuiV7OFuDZ2DBYOmqIhfGKGRnfOL5ZVF3iHCrfUpX3p+fEFzDmwvm3vr73PTSrFw /aRRLa/hOWr5ilw1bvnMcazgQzFEOlQb3DMhBKH7gLl3XHVrM+TaaqYHjUia1+6Y e2axz/duA2q9uLMW81daRApvHMCgy0exkpC7prfOxF5bgTe4TjA7ZWvGpqG1kPKT PPSxw80XvG5hLZm4tB0ZWJ5rOfFpiUGGneSeRQwyuClBt73SIO+F03jyGpt83slU jFE50ac14Zwh1oxpCQtYoR1+bXWdq1QwM5vQBNEuaoTSnJfVjrXqBz/BnqJChtjr m1vA27+4/dfki2P3gVWF1lGx43ir3uJvqk+BjWXm2CDDJqpRi3N0qcUwZwLuqAAz /LEgFqK61bpHi/C8c2NWAxIoeWRU4NUOaoiKmZwyt0sKAWU1Yzg70xssYeg7VYqZ 3pvFNVBqkV+F =sXUU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'v6.5-rc1-sysctl-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "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.
