Linus Note: I have update the capabilities in my signing key. I don't think anything changes on your side, but thought I'd mention it for good measure. Pulling from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/pgpkeys.git would probably solve any unforeseen issues. The following changes since commit c3f38fa61af77b49866b006939479069cd451173: Linux 6.10-rc2 (2024-06-02 15:44:56 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl.git/ tags/sysctl-6.11-rc1 for you to fetch changes up to acc154691fc75e1a178fc36624bdeee1420585a4: sysctl: Warn on an empty procname element (2024-06-13 10:50:52 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- sysctl changes for 6.11-rc1 Summary * Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all ctl_table sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL that worked in tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of the ctl_table arrays is no longer needed and has been removed. The sysctl register functions now returns an error if a sentinel is used. * Preparation patches for sysctl constification Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The ctl_table arguments in sysctl utility functions are const qualified in preparation for a future treewide proc_handler argument constification commit. * Misc fixes Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default ownership values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check proc_dou8vec_minmax to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl testing module a name to avoid compiler complaints. Testing * This got push to linux-next in v6.10-rc2, so it has had more than a month of testing ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Johnson (1): sysctl: Add module description to sysctl-testing Joel Granados (8): locking: Remove superfluous sentinel element from kern_lockdep_table mm profiling: Remove superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table sysctl: Remove check for sentinel element in ctl_table arrays sysctl: Replace nr_entries with ctl_table_size in new_links sysctl: Remove superfluous empty allocations from sysctl internals sysctl: Remove "child" sysctl code comments sysctl: Remove ctl_table sentinel code comments sysctl: Warn on an empty procname element Thomas Weißschuh (3): sysctl: always initialize i_uid/i_gid utsname: constify ctl_table arguments of utility function sysctl: constify ctl_table arguments of utility function Wen Yang (1): sysctl: move the extra1/2 boundary check of u8 to sysctl_check_table_array fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c | 70 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- include/linux/sysctl.h | 2 +- kernel/locking/lockdep.c | 1 - kernel/sysctl-test.c | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/sysctl.c | 31 +++++++++------------ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c | 2 +- lib/alloc_tag.c | 1 - net/sysctl_net.c | 11 ++------ 8 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 63 deletions(-) -- Joel Granados
