      sysctl: move security keys sysctl registration to its own file · 28898e26
      Luis Chamberlain authored 
      The security keys sysctls are already declared on its own file,
just move the sysctl registration to its own file to help avoid
merge conflicts on sysctls.c, and help with clearing up sysctl.c
further.

This creates a small penalty of 23 bytes:

./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.1 vmlinux.2
add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 49/-26 (23)
Function                                     old     new   delta
init_security_keys_sysctls                     -      33     +33
__pfx_init_security_keys_sysctls               -      16     +16
sysctl_init_bases                             85      59     -26
Total: Before=21256937, After=21256960, chg +0.00%

But soon we'll be saving tons of bytes anyway, as we modify the
sysctl registrations to use ARRAY_SIZE and so we get rid of all the
empty array elements so let's just clean this up now.

      sysctl: move umh sysctl registration to its own file · 861dc0b4
      Luis Chamberlain authored 
      Move the umh sysctl registration to its own file, the array is
already there. We do this to remove the clutter out of kernel/sysctl.c
to avoid merge conflicts.

This also lets the sysctls not be built at all now when CONFIG_SYSCTL
is not enabled.

This has a small penalty of 23 bytes but soon we'll be removing
all the empty entries on sysctl arrays so just do this cleanup
now:

      signal: move show_unhandled_signals sysctl to its own file · 01e6aac7
      Luis Chamberlain authored 
      The show_unhandled_signals sysctl is the only sysctl for debug
left on kernel/sysctl.c. We've been moving the syctls out from
kernel/sysctl.c so to help avoid merge conflicts as the shared
array gets out of hand.

This change incurs simplifies sysctl registration by localizing
it where it should go for a penalty in size of increasing the
kernel by 23 bytes, we accept this given recent cleanups have
actually already saved us 1465 bytes in the prior commits.

      sysctl: remove empty dev table · 996ef312
      Luis Chamberlain authored 
      Now that all the dev sysctls have been moved out we can remove the
dev sysctl base directory. We don't need to create base directories,
they are created for you as if using 'mkdir -p' with register_syctl()
and register_sysctl_init(). For details refer to sysctl_mkdir_p()
usage.

We save 90 bytes with this changes:

./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.2.remove-sysctl-table vmlinux.3-remove-dev-table
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-90 (-90)
Function                                     old     new   delta
sysctl_init_bases                            111      85     -26
dev_table                                     64       -     -64
Total: Before=21257057, After=21256967, chg -0.00%

The empty dev table has been in place since the v2.5.0 days because
back then ordering was essentialy. But later commit 7ec66d06
("sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories"),
merged as of v3.4-rc1, the entire ordering of directories was replaced
by allowing sysctl directory autogeneration. This new mechanism
introduced on v3.4 allows for sysctl directories to automatically be
created for sysctl tables when they are needed and automatically removes
them when no sysctl tables use them. That commit also added a dedicated
struct ctl_dir as a new type for these autogenerated directories.
