Create a converter for the pipe-max-size proc_handler using the
SYSCTL_UINT_CONV_CUSTOM. Move SYSCTL_CONV_IDENTITY macro to the sysctl
header to make it available for pipe size validation. Keep returning
-EINVAL when (val == 0) by using a range checking converter and setting
the minimal valid value (extern1) to SYSCTL_ONE. Keep round_pipe_size by
passing it as the operation for SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV.

Move integer jiffies converters (proc_dointvec{_,_ms_,_userhz_}jiffies
and proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies_minmax) to kernel/time/jiffies.c. Error
stubs for when CONFIG_PRCO_SYSCTL is not defined are not reproduced
because all the jiffies converters go through proc_dointvec_conv which
is already stubbed. This is part of the greater effort to move sysctl
logic out of kernel/sysctl.c thereby reducing merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

The new non-static proc_dointvec_conv forwards a custom converter
function to do_proc_dointvec from outside the sysctl scope. Rename the

* Replace void* data in the converter functions with a const struct
ctl_table* table as it was only getting forwarding values from

* Remove the void* data in the do_proc_* functions as they already had a

* Remove min/max structures do_proc_do{uint,int}vec_minmax_conv_param;
the min/max values get passed directly in ctl_table.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
likely place where the final series that removes the check for
proc_name == NULL will land.
This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
- Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
- Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
- Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
Weißschuh.

Move the SYSCTL_TABLE_TYPE_{DEFAULT,PERMANENTLY_EMPTY} enums from
ctl_table to ctl_table_header.
Removing the mutable member is necessary to constify static instances
of struct ctl_table.
Move the initialization of the sysctl_mount_point type into
init_header() where all the other header fields are also initialized.
As a side-effect the memory usage of the sysctl core is reduced.
Each ctl_table_header instance can manage multiple ctl_table instances
and is only allocated when the table is actually registered.
This saves 8 bytes of memory per ctl_table on 64bit, 4 due to the enum
field itself and 4 due to padding.

The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl
alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values. If a user sets
an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid
parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed
to init. Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the
unknown boot parameter code. If an alias exists, don't return an error
or pass the value to init.

This commit adds table_size to register_sysctl in preparation for the
removal of the sentinel elements in the ctl_table arrays (last empty
markers). And though we do *not* remove any sentinels in this commit, we
set things up by either passing the table_size explicitly or using
ARRAY_SIZE on the ctl_table arrays.
We replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the
ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the
callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not
change. For the callers that pass a ctl_table array pointer, we pass the
table_size to register_sysctl_sz instead of the macro.

We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.
We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.
The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

The new ctl_table_size element will hold the size of the ctl_table
arrays contained in the ctl_table_header. This value should eventually
be passed by the callers to the sysctl register infrastructure. And
while this commit introduces the variable, it does not set nor use it
because that requires case by case considerations for each caller.
It provides two important things: (1) A place to put the
result of the ctl_table array calculation when it gets introduced for
each caller. And (2) the size that will be used as the additional
stopping criteria in the list_for_each_table_entry macro (to be added
when all the callers are migrated)

This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of
ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was
being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal"
and "permanently emtpy".
What changed?:
* Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the
default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero
so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local
context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the
new enum with kdoc.
* Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table
* Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to
calculate how many headers there are for every child
* Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no
need to traverse down the child tree any longer
* Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag
* Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c

This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and

The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().
The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.
The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:
static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };
Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.
This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

There is a discussion about the name of hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free in
thread [1]. The suggestion suggested by David is rename "alloc/free" to
"optimize/restore" to make functionalities clearer to users, "optimize"
means the function will optimize vmemmap pages, while "restore" means
restoring its vmemmap pages discared before. This commit does this.
Another discussion is the confusion RESERVE_VMEMMAP_NR isn't used
explicitly for vmemmap_addr but implicitly for vmemmap_end in
hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free. David suggested we can compute what
hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does now at runtime. We do not need to worry for
the overhead of computing at runtime since the calculation is simple
enough and those functions are not in a hot path. This commit has the
following improvements:
1) The function suffixed name ("optimize/restore") is more expressive.
2) The logic becomes less weird in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
3) The hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does not need to be exported anymore.
4) A ->optimize_vmemmap_pages field in struct hstate is killed.
5) There is only one place where checks is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct
page)) instead of two places.
6) Add more comments for hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
7) For external users, hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_pages() is used for
detecting if the HugeTLB's vmemmap pages is optimizable originally.
In this commit, it is killed and we introduce a new helper
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable() to replace it. The name is more
expressive.

Patch series "sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and
registration helper".
In this patch series we start addressing base directories, and so we
start with the "fs" sysctls. The end goal is we end up completely
moving all "fs" sysctl knobs out from kernel/sysctl.
This patch (of 6):
Add a set of helpers which can be used to declare and register base
directory sysctls on their own. We do this so we can later move each of
the base sysctl directories like "fs", "kernel", etc, to their own
respective files instead of shoving the declarations and registrations
all on kernel/sysctl.c. The lazy approach has caught up and with this,
we just end up extending the list of base directories / sysctls on one
file and this makes maintenance difficult due to merge conflicts from
many developers.
The declarations are used first by kernel/sysctl.c for registration its
own base which over time we'll try to clean up. It will be used in the
next patch to demonstrate how to cleanly deal with base sysctl
directories.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
So move the pipe sysctls to its own file.

it is used, and make it clear that if sysctls are disabled this is not
used.

sysctl has helpers which let us specify boundary values for a min or max
int value. Since these are used for a boundary check only they don't
change, so move these variables to sysctl_vals to avoid adding duplicate
variables. This will help with our cleanup of kernel/sysctl.c.

Patch series "sysctl: first set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.
Finally had time to respin the series of the work we had started last
year on cleaning up the kernel/sysct.c kitchen sink. People keeps
stuffing their sysctls in that file and this creates a maintenance
burden. So this effort is aimed at placing sysctls where they actually
belong.
I'm going to split patches up into series as there is quite a bit of
work.
This first set adds register_sysctl_init() for uses of registerting a
sysctl on the init path, adds const where missing to a few places,
generalizes common values so to be more easy to share, and starts the
move of a few kernel/sysctl.c out where they belong.
The majority of rework on v2 in this first patch set is 0-day fixes.
Eric Biederman's feedback is later addressed in subsequent patch sets.
I'll only post the first two patch sets for now. We can address the
rest once the first two patch sets get completely reviewed / Acked.
This patch (of 9):
The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
Today though folks heavily rely on tables on kernel/sysctl.c so they can
easily just extend this table with their needed sysctls. In order to
help users move their sysctls out we need to provide a helper which can
be used during code initialization.
We special-case the initialization use of register_sysctl() since it
*is* safe to fail, given all that sysctls do is provide a dynamic
interface to query or modify at runtime an existing variable. So the
use case of register_sysctl() on init should *not* stop if the sysctls
don't end up getting registered. It would be counter productive to stop
boot if a simple sysctl registration failed.
Provide a helper for init then, and document the recommended init levels
to use for callers of this routine. We will later use this in
subsequent patches to start slimming down kernel/sysctl.c tables and
moving sysctl registration to the code which actually needs these
sysctls.

This is to let bool variable could be correctly displayed in
big/little endian sysctl procfs. sizeof(bool) is arch dependent,
proc_dobool should work in all arches.

Networking has many sysctls that could fit in one u8.
This patch adds proc_dou8vec_minmax() for this purpose.
Note that the .extra1 and .extra2 fields are pointing
to integers, because it makes conversions easier.
