Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this. Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter - hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning. A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical. Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount. This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles all dynamically registered sysctl tables. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value are reported in the kernel log. The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/ then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel. Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values from userspace is practical enough.

We can however convert them to the generic infrastructure with a table translating the legacy command line parameters to their sysctl names, and removing the one-off param handlers. This patch adds the support and makes the first conversion to demonstrate it, on the (deprecated) numa_zonelist_order parameter.

This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter. Note that the sysctl handler is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy parameter allowed any non-zero value. But there is little reason anyone would not be using 1.
