Linus Torvalds 4b290aae78 Summary
* Move sysctls out of the kern_table array
 
   This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective subsystems. Only 5
   (out of the original 50) will remain in kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle
   either sysctl or common arch variables.
 
   By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain control
   over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and reducing the
   likelihood of merge conflicts.
 
 * docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs
 
   Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented in the
   check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to automatically
   identify if documentation is missing.
 
 * Testing
 
   All these have been in linux-next since rc3, giving them a solid 3 to 4 weeks
   worth of testing. Additionally, sysctl selftests and kunit were also run
   locally on my x86_64

   control over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and
   reducing the likelihood of merge conflicts.

 - docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs

   Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented
   in the check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to
   automatically identify if documentation is missing.
