[PATCH v2 0/4] cleaning up the sysctls table (hung_task watchdog)

[PATCH v2 0/4] cleaning up the sysctls table (hung_task watchdog)

[Xiaoming Ni]

Kernel/sysctl.c contains more than 190 interface files, and there are a 
large number of config macro controls. When modifying the sysctl 
interface directly in kernel/sysctl.c, conflicts are very easy to occur.
E.g: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/10/413.

Use register_sysctl() to register the sysctl interface to avoid
merge conflicts when different features modify sysctl.c at the same time.

So consider cleaning up the sysctls table, details are in:
	https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelProjects/proc
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/13/990

The current patch set extracts register_sysctl_init and some sysctl_vals
variables, and clears the interface of hung_task and watchdog in sysctl.c.

changes in v2:
  1. Adjusted the order of patches, first do public function
     extraction, then do feature code movement
  2. Move hung_task sysctl to hung_task.c instead of adding new file
  3. Extract multiple common variables instead of only neg_one, and keep
     the order of member values in sysctl_vals
  4. Add const modification to the variable sixty in watchdog sysctl

V1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/15/17

Xiaoming Ni (4):
  sysctl: Add register_sysctl_init() interface
  sysctl: Move some boundary constants form sysctl.c to sysctl_vals
  hung_task: Move hung_task sysctl interface to hung_task.c
  watchdog: move watchdog sysctl interface to watchdog.c

[PATCH v2 1/4] sysctl: Add register_sysctl_init() interface

[Xiaoming Ni]

In order to eliminate the duplicate code for registering the sysctl
interface during the initialization of each feature, add the
register_sysctl_init() interface

[PATCH v2 2/4] sysctl: Move some boundary constants form sysctl.c to sysctl_vals

[Xiaoming Ni]

Some boundary (.extra1 .extra2) constants (E.g: neg_one two) in
sysctl.c are used in multiple features. Move these variables to
sysctl_vals to avoid adding duplicate variables when cleaning up
sysctls table.

Please make this const. With that done, yes, looks great!

Thank you for your guidance, I will fix it in v3

In addition, I am a bit confused about the patch submission, and hope to 
get everyone's answer.
   I made this patch based on the master branch. But as in conflict at 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/10/413, my patch will inevitably conflict. 
Should I modify to make patch based on "linux-next" branch to avoid 
conflict, or other branches?

Thanks
