Summary
* Move sysctls out of the kern_table array
This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective subsystems. Only 5
(out of the original 50) will remain in kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle
either sysctl or common arch variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain control
over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and reducing the
likelihood of merge conflicts.
* docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs
Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented in the
check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to automatically
identify if documentation is missing.
* Testing
All these have been in linux-next since rc3, giving them a solid 3 to 4 weeks
worth of testing. Additionally, sysctl selftests and kunit were also run
locally on my x86_64
docs: Downgrade arm64 & riscv from titles to comment
Remove the title string ("====") from under arm64 & riscv and move them
to a commment under the perf_user_access sysctl. They are explanations,
*not* sysctls themselves
This effectively removes these two strings from appearing as not
implemented when the check-sysctl-docs script is run
