[PATCH 1/8] S390: Remove sentinel elem from ctl_table arrays

From: Joel Granados via B4 Relay
Date: Wed Sep 06 2023 - 06:04:40 EST


From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/)

Remove the sentinel element from appldata_table, s390dbf_table,
topology_ctl_table, cmm_table and page_table_sysctl. Reduced the
memory allocation in appldata_register_ops by 1 effectively removing the
sentinel from ops->ctl_table.
