From: Eric W. Biederman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - unquoted Will converting the coda sysctl initializers I discovered that it is yet another user of sysctl that was stomping CTL_KERN. So off with it's sys_sysctl support since it wasn't done in a supportable way. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <[EMAI

[PATCH 37/59] sysctl: C99 convert arch/sh64/kernel/traps.c and remove ABI breakage.

From: Eric W. Biederman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - unquoted While doing the C99 conversion I notices that the top level sh64 directory was using the binary number for CTL_KERN. That is a no-no so I removed the support for the sysctl binary interface only leaving sysctl /proc support. At least the sys
