selftests/sysctl: fix wording of help messages (2025-02-27 10:02:12 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
* Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems leading
to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This increases modularity by
placing the ctl_tables closer to where they are actually used and at the same
time reducing the chances of merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
* ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the extra{1,2}
pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the values that users
can pass into the kernel effectively preventing {under,over}flows.
* Misc fixes
Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl files in
MAINTAINERS. Constified and removed array size in declaration for
alignment_tbl
* Testing
- These have all been in linux-next for at least 1 month
- They have gone through 0-day
- Ran all these through sysctl selftests in x86_64
