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.
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"
