[PATCH v3 3/7] arch/x86: Remove now superfluous sentinel elem from ctl_table arrays

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

 



From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/)

Remove sentinel element from sld_sysctl and itmt_kern_table. This
removal is safe because register_sysctl_init and register_sysctl
implicitly use the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.
