sysctl: rename kern_table -> sysctl_subsys_table

2025-07-23T09:56:02Z

Renamed sysctl table from kern_table to sysctl_subsys_table and grouped the two arch specific ctls to the end of the array. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados

kernel/sys.c: Move overflow{uid,gid} sysctl into kernel/sys.c

2025-07-23T09:56:02Z

Moved ctl_tables elements for overflowuid and overflowgid into in kernel/sys.c. Create a register function that keeps them under "kernel" and run it after core with postcore_initcall. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados

uevent: mv uevent_helper into kobject_uevent.c

2025-07-23T09:56:02Z

Move both uevent_helper table into lib/kobject_uevent.c. Place the registration early in the initcall order with postcore_initcall. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados

sysctl: Remove (very) old file changelog

2025-07-23T09:52:48Z

These comments are older than 2003 and therefore do not bare any relevance on the current state of the sysctl.c file. Remove them as they confuse more than clarify. Reviewed-by: Luis Chamberlain Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Joel Granados

sysctl: Move sysctl_panic_on_stackoverflow to kernel/panic.c

sysctl: move cad_pid into kernel/pid.c

2025-07-23T09:52:48Z

Move cad_pid as well as supporting function proc_do_cad_pid into kernel/pic.c. Replaced call to __do_proc_dointvec with proc_dointvec inside proc_do_cad_pid which requires the copy of the ctl_table to handle the temp value. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.

sysctl: Move tainted ctl_table into kernel/panic.c

2025-07-23T09:52:48Z

Move the ctl_table with the "tainted" proc_name into kernel/panic.c. With it moves the proc_tainted helper function. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.

Input: sysrq: mv sysrq into drivers/tty/sysrq.c

2025-07-23T09:52:48Z

Move both sysrq ctl_table and supported sysrq_sysctl_handler helper function into drivers/tty/sysrq.c. Replaced the __do_proc_dointvec in helper function with do_proc_dointvec_minmax as the former is local to kernel/sysctl.c. Here we use the minmax version of do_proc_dointvec because do_proc_dointvec is static and calling do_proc_dointvec_minmax with a NULL min and max is the same as calling do_proc_dointvec. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
