sysctl: Remove register_sysctl_tableThis is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths andregister_sysctl_table.

0199849a - sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths()

Wed, 03 May 2023 01:30:04 +0000

sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths()The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice aswe nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now justopen code and move the implementation over to what used to beto __register_sysctl_paths().The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point tosysctl_table_root.default_set.The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in theroutine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routineand remove its use as its always empty.This saves us a total of 230 bytes.$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.old vmlinuxadd/remove: 2/7 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 1015/-1245 (-230)Function old new deltaregister_leaf_sysctl_tables.constprop - 524 +524register_sysctl_table 22 497 +475__pfx_register_leaf_sysctl_tables.constprop - 16 +16null_path 8 - -8__pfx_register_sysctl_paths 16 - -16__pfx_register_leaf_sysctl_tables 16 - -16__pfx___register_sysctl_paths 16 - -16__register_sysctl_base 29 12 -17register_sysctl_paths 18 - -18register_leaf_sysctl_tables 534 - -534__register_sysctl_paths 620 - -620Total: Before=21259666, After=21259436, chg -0.00%Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain List of files: /linux-6.15/scripts/check-sysctl-docs

docs: add a script to check sysctl docsThis script allows sysctl documentation to be checked against thekernel source code, to identify missing or obsolete entries. Runningit against 5.5 shows for example that sysctl/kernel.rst has twoobsolete entries and is missing 52 entries.Signed-off-by: Stephen Kitt Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet List of files: /linux-6.15/scripts/check-sysctl-docs
