Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:

 - Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*

   Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
   and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
   net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
   through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
   likely place where the final series that removes the check for
   proc_name == NULL will land.

   This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.

 - Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
     - Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
     - Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
     - Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure

   Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
   keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
   ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
   that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
   Weißschuh.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.

     AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
     passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
     Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
     lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.

   - Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
     packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
     routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
     PPPoE).

   - Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
     processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
     NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.

   - Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.

     Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
     address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
     sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
     TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
     of the link information available via rtnetlink.

   - Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
     accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.

   - Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
     PPS.

   - Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.

   - Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
     and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.

   - Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.

   - Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
     driver.

   - Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.

   - Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.

   - Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
     used either for input or output packet processing.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().

     This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.

   - Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.

   - Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
     "CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.

  Netfilter:

   - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
     situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

  BPF:

   - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

   - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
     a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
     entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
     program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
     value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
     tetragon and bpftrace.

   - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
     tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
     tracepoints.

   - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
     memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
     JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
     state.

   - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
     atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
     instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

   - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
     process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

   - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

   - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
     APIs.

   - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

   - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
     program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

  Driver API:

   - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
     marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
     rule.

   - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
     the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
     config.

   - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
     queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

   - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
     tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

   - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
     to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
     machine). Add a few such tests.

   - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
     YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
     access.

   - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
     tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
     them "on every commit".

   - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

   - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
     nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
     info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

   - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

   - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
     to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

   - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

  Drivers:

   - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
     and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
     rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
     Sloth Tønnesen).

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
         - support XDP metadata
         - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware

         - support offloading TC packet mark action

   - Ethernet NICs consumer, embedded and virtual:
      - stop lying about skb-&gt;truesize in USB Ethernet drivers, it
        messes up TCP memory calculations
      - Google cloud vNIC:
         - support changing ring size via ethtool
         - support ring reset using the queue control API
      - VirtIO net:
         - expose flow hash from RSS to XDP
         - per-queue statistics
         - add selftests

  Netfilter:

   - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
     situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

  BPF:

   - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

   - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
     a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
     entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
     program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
     value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
     tetragon and bpftrace.

   - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
     tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
     tracepoints.

   - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
     memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
     JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
     state.

   - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
     atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
     instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

   - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
     process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

   - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

   - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
     APIs.

   - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

   - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
     program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

  Driver API:

   - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
     marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
     rule.

   - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
     the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
     config.

   - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
     queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

   - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
     tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

   - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
     to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
     machine). Add a few such tests.

   - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
     YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
     access.

   - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
     tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
     them "on every commit".

   - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

   - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
     nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
     info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

   - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

   - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
     to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

   - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

  Drivers:

   - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
     and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
     rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
     Sloth Tønnesen).

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
         - support XDP metadata
         - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library
         - use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF
         - add PFCP filter support
         - add Ethernet filter support
         - use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops

      - nVidia/Mellanox:
         - 800G link modes and 100G SerDes speeds
         - per-queue IRQ coalescing configuration
      - Marvell Octeon:
         - support offloading TC packet mark action

   - Ethernet NICs consumer, embedded and virtual:
      - stop lying about skb-&gt;truesize in USB Ethernet drivers, it
        messes up TCP memory calculations
      - Google cloud vNIC:
         - support changing ring size via ethtool
         - support ring reset using the queue control API
      - VirtIO net:
         - expose flow hash from RSS to XDP
         - per-queue statistics
         - add selftests
      - Synopsys (stmmac):
         - support controllers which require an RX clock signal from the
           MII bus to perform their hardware initialization
      - TI:
         - icssg_prueth: support ICSSG-based Ethernet on AM65x SR1.0 devices

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 :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove the sentinels from ipc_sysctls and mq_sysctls

The permissions callback should not modify the ctl_table. Enforce this
expectation via the typesystem. This is a step to put "struct ctl_table"
into .rodata throughout the kernel.

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

  @@
  identifier func, head, ctl;
  @@

  int func(
    struct ctl_table_header *head,
  - struct ctl_table *ctl)
  + const struct ctl_table *ctl)
  { ... }

(insert_entry() from fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c is a false-positive)

No additional occurrences of '.permissions =' were found after a
tree-wide search for places missed by the conccinelle script.

Remove the 'table' argument from set_ownership as it is never used. This
change is a step towards putting "struct ctl_table" into .rodata and
eventually having sysctl core only use "const struct ctl_table".

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

  @@
  identifier func, head, table, uid, gid;
  @@

  void func(
    struct ctl_table_header *head,
  - struct ctl_table *table,
    kuid_t *uid, kgid_t *gid)
  { ... }

No additional occurrences of 'set_ownership' were found after doing a

To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the
sysctl core.
One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.
No functional change.

Instead of checking for specific file_operations, add a bit to
file_operations which denotes a file that only contain hugetlb pages.
This lets us make hugetlbfs_file_operations static, and removes
is_file_shm_hugepages() completely.
