      sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table · bff97cf1
      Joel Granados authored 
      We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.

We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

      sysctl: Add size argument to init_header · b1f01e2b
      Joel Granados authored 
      In this commit, we add a table_size argument to the init_header function
in order to initialize the ctl_table_size variable in ctl_table_header.
Even though the size is not yet used, it is now initialized within the
sysctl subsys. We need this commit for when we start adding the
table_size arguments to the sysctl functions (e.g. register_sysctl,
__register_sysctl_table and __register_sysctl_init).

Note that in __register_sysctl_table we temporarily use a calculated
size until we add the size argument to that function in subsequent
commits.

      sysctl: Add ctl_table_size to ctl_table_header · 1e887723
      Joel Granados authored 
      The new ctl_table_size element will hold the size of the ctl_table
arrays contained in the ctl_table_header. This value should eventually
be passed by the callers to the sysctl register infrastructure. And
while this commit introduces the variable, it does not set nor use it
because that requires case by case considerations for each caller.

It provides two important things: (1) A place to put the
result of the ctl_table array calculation when it gets introduced for
each caller. And (2) the size that will be used as the additional
stopping criteria in the list_for_each_table_entry macro (to be added
when all the callers are migrated)

      sysctl: Use ctl_table_header in list_for_each_table_entry · 18d4b42e
      Joel Granados authored 
      We replace the ctl_table with the ctl_table_header pointer in
list_for_each_table_entry which is the macro responsible for traversing
the ctl_table arrays. This is a preparation commit that will make it
easier to add the ctl_table array size (that will be added to
ctl_table_header in subsequent commits) to the already existing loop
logic based on empty ctl_table elements (so called sentinels).

      sysctl: Prefer ctl_table_header in proc_sysctl · cc9f7ee0
      Joel Granados authored 
      This is a preparation commit that replaces ctl_table with
ctl_table_header as the pointer that is passed around in proc_sysctl.c.
This will become necessary in subsequent commits when the size of the
ctl_table array can no longer be calculated by searching for an empty
sentinel (last empty ctl_table element) but will be carried along inside
the ctl_table_header struct.
