Linus Torvalds a05aea98d4 sysctl-6.8-rc1
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 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
 the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
 The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
 are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
 no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
 
 Let us recap the purpose of this work:
 
   - 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
 
 Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
 work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
 
 Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
 for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
 to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
 removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
 has had no time to help at all.
