Linus Torvalds 6a8cbd9253 v6.5-rc1-sysctl-next
The changes queued up for v6.5-rc1 for sysctl are in line with
 prior efforts to stop usage of deprecated routines which incur
 recursion and also make it hard to remove the empty array element
 in each sysctl array declaration. The most difficult user to modify
 was parport which required a bit of re-thinking of how to declare shared
 sysctls there, Joel Granados has stepped up to the plate to do most of
 this work and eventual removal of register_sysctl_table(). That work
 ended up saving us about 1465 bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since
 we gained a few bloat-o-meter karma points I moved two rather small
 sysctl arrays from kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl
 arrays to move left.
 
 Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The last
 straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl
 kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for
 the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the
 special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated
 sysctl child element.
 
 This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty
 array element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is
 expected to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work
 will be tested early after v6.5-rc1 is out.
