Linus Torvalds adfd671676 sysctl-6.6-rc1
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.
 
 At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
 posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
 received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
 entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
 networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
 
 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.
 
 Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
 a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.
