Commit Message

From: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com>

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will
reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory
bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove the sentinel from all files under security/ that register a
sysctl table.

Hey

This is the only patch that I have not seen added to the next tree.
I'll put this in the sysctl-next
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl.git/log/?h=sysctl-next
for testing. Please let me know if It is lined up to be upstream through
another path.

Best

I was hoping to see some ACKs from the associated LSM maintainers, but
it's minor enough I'll go ahead and pull it into the lsm/dev tree this
week.  I'll send a note later when I do the merge.

... and now it's merged, it should be in the next cut of the
linux-next tree.  Thanks!

Awesome. I'll remove it from sysctl-next then to avoid any potential
crashes.

Thx
