Merge tag 'sysctl-6.8-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. Joel Granados has been doing all this work.
In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- 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
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at all"

Merge tag 'sysctl-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring the end element being empty, and just have our registration process rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0]. Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove them:
- register_sysctl_table() - register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths() does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've just kept the stragglers after rc3"
