Merge tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c
  arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help
  avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're
  going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and
  try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each
  array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new
  sentinel with each array moved.

  Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves
  of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new
  move.

  The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl
  is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot
  of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying
  to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels.
  Although Joel already has code which does most of this work,
  experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be
  careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to
  the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.

  To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major
  housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this
  merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels
  will be done later in future kernel releases.

  The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall
  build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the
  kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each
  sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the
  kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels
  are created"
