Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman:
- Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
network devices.
sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.
- The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation
is fixed.
