Yes it already does that, but kernel_root_table2 is not defined when CONFIG_SYSCTL is not set (the problem isn't with register_sysctl_table). With 2.6.12-rc3: arch/x86_64/kernel/vsyscall.c: In function `vsyscall_init': arch/x86_64/kernel/vsyscall.c:221: error: `kernel_root_table2' undeclared (first use in this function) If you prefer, i can send a patch which sets kernel_table_root2 to NULL when CONFIG_SYSCTL is not set. Or maybe there a better fix (btw is sysctl_vsyscall needed when !CONFIG_SYSCTL ?). regards, Benoit - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
