Subject: sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script:

```
  virtual patch

  @r1@
  identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos;
  identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)";

  int func(
  - struct ctl_table *ctl
  + const struct ctl_table *ctl
    ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *);

  @r5@
  identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos;
  @@

  int func(
  - struct ctl_table *
  + const struct ctl_table *
    ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos);

```

* Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code
  conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler,
  xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where
  adjusted.

* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
  This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
  another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
  proc_handler migration.
