Merge tag 'sysctl-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. 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"
