kernel/sysctl.c: rename sysctl_init() to sysctl_init_bases()

2022-01-22T06:33:36Z

Rename sysctl_init() to sysctl_init_bases() so to reflect exactly what this is doing.

sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and registration helper

2022-01-22T06:33:36Z

Patch series "sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and registration helper". In this patch series we start addressing base directories, and so we start with the "fs" sysctls. The end goal is we end up completely moving all "fs" sysctl knobs out from kernel/sysctl. This patch (of 6): Add a set of helpers which can be used to declare and register base directory sysctls on their own. We do this so we can later move each of the base sysctl directories like "fs", "kernel", etc, to their own respective files instead of shoving the declarations and registrations all on kernel/sysctl.c. The lazy approach has caught up and with this, we just end up extending the list of base directories / sysctls on one file and this makes maintenance difficult due to merge conflicts from many developers. The declarations are used first by kernel/sysctl.c for registration its own base which over time we'll try to clean up. It will be used in the next patch to demonstrate how to cleanly deal with base sysctl directories.

sysctl: move maxolduid as a sysctl specific const

2022-01-22T06:33:36Z

The maxolduid value is only shared for sysctl purposes for use on a max range. Just stuff this into our shared const array.

sysctl: add helper to register a sysctl mount point

2022-01-22T06:33:35Z

The way to create a subdirectory on top of sysctl_mount_point is a bit obscure, and *why* we do that even so more. Provide a helper which makes it clear why we do this.

random: move the random sysctl declarations to its own file

2022-01-22T06:33:35Z

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. 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 the random sysctls to their own file and use register_sysctl_init().

firmware_loader: move firmware sysctl to its own files

2022-01-22T06:33:35Z

Patch series "sysctl: 3rd set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2. This is the third set of patches to help address cleaning the kitchen seink in kernel/sysctl.c and to move sysctls away to where they are actually implemented / used. This patch (of 8): kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

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.
