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) Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> diff 1e887723 Tue Aug 08 16:49:55 MDT 2023 Joel Granados <joel.granados@gmail.com> sysctl: Add ctl_table_size to ctl_table_header The new ctl_table_size element will hold the size of the ctl_table arrays contained in the ctl_table_header.

"child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal" and "permanently emtpy". What changed?: * Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the new enum with kdoc. * Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table * Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to calculate how many headers there are for every child * Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no need to traverse down the child tree any longer * Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag * Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> diff 2f5edd03 Tue May 23 06:22:19 MDT 2023 Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> sysctl: Refactor base paths registrations This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and register_sysctl_table. The old way of doing this through register_sysctl_base and DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro is replaced with a call to register_sysctl_init. The 5 base paths affected are: "kernel", "vm", "debug", "dev" and "fs". We remove the register_sysctl_base function and the DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro since they are no longer needed. In order to quickly acertain that the paths did not actually change I executed `find /proc/sys/ | sha1sum` and made sure that the sha was the same before and after the commit.

The suggestion suggested by David is rename "alloc/free" to "optimize/restore" to make functionalities clearer to users, "optimize" means the function will optimize vmemmap pages, while "restore" means restoring its vmemmap pages discared before. This commit does this. Another discussion is the confusion RESERVE_VMEMMAP_NR isn't used explicitly for vmemmap_addr but implicitly for vmemmap_end in hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free. David suggested we can compute what hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does now at runtime. We do not need to worry for the overhead of computing at runtime since the calculation is simple enough and those functions are not in a hot path. This commit has the following improvements: 1) The function suffixed name ("optimize/restore") is more expressive. 2) The logic becomes less weird in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore(). 3) The hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does not need to be exported anymore. 4) A ->optimize_vmemmap_pages field in struct hstate is killed. 5) There is only one place where checks is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct page)) instead of two places. 6) Add more comments for hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore(). 7) For external users, hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_pages() is used for detecting if the HugeTLB's vmemmap pages is optimizable originally. In this commit, it is killed and we introduce a new helper hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable() to replace it. The name is more expressive.

The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
