[PATCH 1/2] sysctl: Refactor base paths registrations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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. 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.
