Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman: - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity. Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing network devices. sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully this means the code is now approachable. Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until something was found that was usable. - The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation is fixed. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl: (36 commits) sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away sysctl: Don't call sysctl_follow_link unless we are a link. sysctl: Comments to make the code clearer. sysctl: Correct error return from get_subdir sysctl: An easier to read version of find_subdir sysctl: fix memset parameters in setup_sysctl_set() sysctl: remove an unused variable sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees. sysctl: Make the header lists per directory. sysctl: Move sysctl_check_dups into insert_header sysctl: Modify __register_sysctl_paths to take a set instead of a root and an nsproxy sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets. sysctl: Add sysctl_print_dir and use it in get_subdir sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories sysctl: Add a root pointer to ctl_table_set sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_readdir in terms of first_entry and next_entry sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup introducing find_entry and lookup_entry. sysctl: Normalize the root_table data structure. sysctl: Factor out insert_header and erase_header ...

- * __register_sysctl_paths - register a sysctl hierarchy
- * @root: List of sysctl headers to register on
- * @namespaces: Data to compute which lists of sysctl entries are visible
- * @path: The path to the directory the sysctl table is in.
- * @table: the top-level table structure
- *
- * Register a sysctl table hierarchy. @table should be a filled in ctl_table
- * array. A completely 0 filled entry terminates the table.
- *
- * The members of the &struct ctl_table structure are used as follows:
- *
- * procname - the name of the sysctl file under /proc/sys. Set to %NULL to not
- * enter a sysctl file
- *
- * data - a pointer to data for use by proc_handler
- *
- * maxlen - the maximum size in bytes of the data
- *
- * mode - the file permissions for the /proc/sys file, and for sysctl(2)
- *
- * child - a pointer to the child sysctl table if this entry is a directory, or
- * %NULL.
- *
- * proc_handler - the text handler routine (described below)
- *
- * de - for internal use by the sysctl routines
- *
- * extra1, extra2 - extra pointers usable by the proc handler routines
- *
- * Leaf nodes in the sysctl tree will be represented by a single file
- * under /proc; non-leaf nodes will be represented by directories.
- *
- * sysctl(2) can automatically manage read and write requests through
- * the sysctl table. The data and maxlen fields of the ctl_table
- * struct enable minimal validation of the values being written to be
- * performed, and the mode field allows minimal authentication.
- *
- * There must be a proc_handler routine for any terminal nodes
- * mirrored under /proc/sys (non-terminals are handled by a built-in
- * directory handler). Several default handlers are available to
- * cover common cases -
- *
- * proc_dostring(), proc_dointvec(), proc_dointvec_jiffies(),
- * proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies(), proc_dointvec_minmax(),
- * proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax(), proc_doulongvec_minmax()
- *
- * It is the handler's job to read the input buffer from user memory
- * and process it. The handler should return 0 on success.
- *
- * This routine returns %NULL on a failure to register, and a pointer
- * to the table header on success.
