Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
  infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
  all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
  driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
  is worth re-iterating the value:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
  unneeded check for procname == NULL.

  The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
  which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
  to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
  to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
  cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
  this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
  might as well roll through the fixes now"

Tabs were used in the function description, to make this look more
uniform, the tabs were replaced by spaces where necessary.

While we're at it, I also replaced the 'ndashes' with simple dashes, since
only those are supported by sphinx.

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :

Now, the "jumped-over" code is simple enough to be put inside an 'if'.
Do so to make it 'goto'-less.

msleep_interruptible() will check on its own. So no need to do the check
in send_break() before calling the above.

If the driver sets TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK, we leave ops->break_ctl()
to the driver and return from send_break(). But we do it using a local
variable and keep the code flowing through the end of the function.
Instead, do 'return' immediately with the ops->break_ctl()'s return
value.

This way, we don't have to stuff the 'else' branch of the 'if' with the
software break handling. And we can re-indent the function too.

An ndash used instead of a single dash renders a bullet to the result.
So use only single dashes in kernel-doc.

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.

  Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
  summary is:

   - Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
     sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types

   - cpm_uart driver updates

   - n_gsm updates and fixes

   - meson driver updates

   - sc16is7xx driver updates

   - 8250 driver updates for different hardware types

   - qcom-geni driver fixes

   - tegra serial driver change

   - stm32 driver updates

   - synclink_gt driver cleanups

   - tty structure size reduction

  All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported
  issues. The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size
  reduction came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style
  changes and size reductions, I figured they should get into this merge
  cycle so that others can work on top of them with no merge conflicts"
