We make register_sysctl_table static because the only function calling it is in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c (__register_sysctl_base). We remove it from the sysctl.h header and modify the documentation in both the header and proc_sysctl.c files to mention "register_sysctl" instead of "register_sysctl_table". This plus the commits that remove register_sysctl_table from parport save 217 bytes: ./scripts/bloat-o-meter .bsysctl/vmlinux.old .bsysctl/vmlinux.new add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 5/1 up/down: 458/-675 (-217) Function old new delta __register_sysctl_base 8 286 +278 parport_proc_register 268 379 +111 parport_device_proc_register 195 247 +52 kzalloc.constprop 598 608 +10 parport_default_proc_register 62 69 +7 register_sysctl_table 291 - -291 parport_sysctl_template 1288 904 -384 Total: Before=8603076, After=8602859, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
