The patches from Eric, that add support for so called ctl_paths has recently being accepted, so I hope we can start using this very useful feature.
To begin with, I switched the core kernel code to use the paths. The rest code to be patched (after this set) will be: * arch-specifi, * some filesystems, * networking. After this set the total vmlinux size decrease is ~500 bytes: add/remove: 5/6 grow/shrink: 5/1 up/down: 121/-616 (-495) function old new delta mq_sysctl_path - 24 +24 fs_quota_path - 24 +24 uts_root_path - 16 +16 sd_ctl_path - 16 +16 ipc_root_path - 16 +16 utsname_sysctl_init 13 18 +5 register_sched_domain_sysctl 762 767 +5 ipc_sysctl_init 13 18 +5 init_mqueue_fs 165 170 +5 dquot_init 191 196 +5 uts_root_table 88 - -88 sys_table 88 - -88 sd_ctl_root 88 - -88 mq_sysctl_root 88 - -88 mq_sysctl_dir 88 - -88 ipc_root_table 88 - -88 fs_table 792 704 -88 The set is prepared to fit the 2.6.24-rc3-mm2 kernel with Eric's patches concerning sysctls.
