2023-05-23sysctl: Refactor base paths registrationsJoel Granados
This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and register_sysctl_table. The old way of doing this through register_sysctl_base and DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro is replaced with a call to register_sysctl_init. The 5 base paths affected are: "kernel", "vm", "debug", "dev" and "fs". We remove the register_sysctl_base function and the DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro since they are no longer needed. In order to quickly acertain that the paths did not actually change I executed `find /proc/sys/ | sha1sum` and made sure that the sha was the same before and after the commit. We end up saving 563 bytes with this change: ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.0.base vmlinux.1.refactor-base-paths add/remove: 0/5 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 77/-640 (-563) Function old new delta sysctl_init_bases 55 111 +56 init_fs_sysctls 12 33 +21 vm_base_table 128 - -128 kernel_base_table 128 - -128 fs_base_table 128 - -128 dev_base_table 128 - -128 debug_base_table 128 - -128 Total: Before=21258215, After=21257652, chg -0.00% [mcgrof: modified to use register_sysctl_init() over register_sysctl() and add bloat-o-meter stats] Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Tested-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Acked-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
2022-01-22fs: move namespace sysctls and declare fs base directoryLuis Chamberlain
This moves the namespace sysctls to its own file as part of the kernel/sysctl.c spring cleaning Since we have now removed all sysctls for "fs", we now have to declare it on the filesystem code, we do that using the new helper, which reduces boiler plate code. We rename init_fs_shared_sysctls() to init_fs_sysctls() to reflect that now fs/sysctls.c is taking on the burden of being the first to register the base directory as well. Lastly, since init code will load in the order in which we link it we have to move the sysctl code to be linked in early, so that its early init routine runs prior to other fs code. This way, other filesystem code can register their own sysctls using the helpers after this: * register_sysctl_init() * register_sysctl() Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211129211943.640266-3-mcgrof@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: Antti Palosaari <crope@iki.fi> Cc: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Cc: "David S.

2022-01-22fs: move shared sysctls to fs/sysctls.cLuis Chamberlain
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic.

So move sysctls which are shared between filesystems into a common file outside of kernel/sysctl.c.
