Joel Granados has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value: - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded check for procname == NULL. The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now" * tag 'sysctl-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (23 commits) watchdog: move softlockup_panic back to early_param proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init intel drm: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array Drivers: hv: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array raid: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array fw loader: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array sgi-xp: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array vrf: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array char-misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array infiniband: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array macintosh: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array parport: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array scsi: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array tty: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array xen: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array hpet: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array c-sky: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_talbe array powerpc: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table arrays riscv: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array x86/vdso: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array ... 2023-11-02T00:46:51+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2023-11-02T00:46:51+00:00 urn:sha1:385903a7ec75bb400f4bf0f07d8d5ad61390270d Pull SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann: "The highlights for the driver support this time are - Qualcomm platforms gain support for the Qualcomm Secure Execution Environment firmware interface to access EFI variables on certain devices, and new features for multiple platform and firmware drivers. - Arm FF-A firmware support gains support for v1.1 specification features, in particular notification and memory transaction descriptor changes. - SCMI firmware support now support v3.2 features for clock and DVFS configuration and a new transport for Qualcomm platforms. - Minor cleanups and bugfixes are added to pretty much all the active platforms: qualcomm, broadcom, dove, ti-k3, rockchip, sifive, amlogic, atmel, tegra, aspeed, vexpress, mediatek, samsung and more.
