* scripts: check-sysctl-docs: handle per-namespace sysctlsThomas Weißschuh2024-02-231-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | Some sysctl tables are registered for each namespace. (Like in ipc/ipc_sysctl.c) These need special handling to track the variable assignments.

* scripts: check-sysctl-docs: adapt to new APIThomas Weißschuh2024-02-231-33/+12
| | | | | | | | | | The script expects the old sysctl_register_paths() API which was removed some time ago. Adapt it to work with the new sysctl_register()/sysctl_register_sz()/sysctl_register_init() APIs.

* sysctl: Remove register_sysctl_tableJoel Granados2023-05-231-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and register_sysctl_table. After removing all the calling functions, we remove both the register_sysctl_table function and the documentation check that appeared in check-sysctl-docs awk script. We save 595 bytes with this change: ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.1.refactor-base-paths vmlinux.2.remove-sysctl-table add/remove: 2/8 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 1154/-1749 (-595) Function old new delta count_subheaders - 983 +983 unregister_sysctl_table 29 184 +155 __pfx_count_subheaders - 16 +16 __pfx_unregister_sysctl_table.part 16 - -16 __pfx_register_leaf_sysctl_tables.constprop 16 - -16 __pfx_count_subheaders.part 16 - -16 __pfx___register_sysctl_base 16 - -16 unregister_sysctl_table.part 136 - -136 __register_sysctl_base 478 - -478 register_leaf_sysctl_tables.constprop 524 - -524 count_subheaders.part 547 - -547 Total: Before=21257652, After=21257057, chg -0.00% [mcgrof: remove register_leaf_sysctl_tables and append_path too and add bloat-o-meter stats] Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Acked-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
* sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths()Luis Chamberlain2023-05-021-16/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table() was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just open code and move the implementation over to what used to be to __register_sysctl_paths(). The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to sysctl_table_root.default_set. The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static: static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} }; Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine and remove its use as its always empty. This saves us a total of 230 bytes. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.old vmlinux add/remove: 2/7 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 1015/-1245 (-230) Function old new delta register_leaf_sysctl_tables.constprop - 524 +524 register_sysctl_table 22 497 +475 __pfx_register_leaf_sysctl_tables.constprop - 16 +16 null_path 8 - -8 __pfx_register_sysctl_paths 16 - -16 __pfx_register_leaf_sysctl_tables 16 - -16 __pfx___register_sysctl_paths 16 - -16 __register_sysctl_base 29 12 -17 register_sysctl_paths 18 - -18 register_leaf_sysctl_tables 534 - -534 __register_sysctl_paths 620 - -620 Total: Before=21259666, After=21259436, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
* docs: add a script to check sysctl docsStephen Kitt2020-02-251-0/+181
This script allows sysctl documentation to be checked against the kernel source code, to identify missing or obsolete entries. Running it against 5.5 shows for example that sysctl/kernel.rst has two obsolete entries and is missing 52 entries.
