  sysctl: Close test ctl_headers with a for loop (2025-04-14 14:13:41 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary

* Move kern_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c

  Moved a subset (tracing, panic, signal, stack_tracer and sparc) out of the
  kern_table array. The goal is for kern_table to only have sysctl elements. All
  this increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they are
  used while reducing the chances of merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.

* Fixed sysctl unit test panic by relocating it to selftests

* Testing

  These have been in linux-next from rc2, so they have had more than a month
  worth of testing.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Joel Granados (9):
      panic: Move panic ctl tables into panic.c
      signal: Move signal ctl tables into signal.c
      tracing: Move trace sysctls into trace.c
      stack_tracer: move sysctl registration to kernel/trace/trace_stack.c
      sparc: mv sparc sysctls into their own file under arch/sparc/kernel
      sysctl: move u8 register test to lib/test_sysctl.c
      sysctl: Add 0012 to test the u8 range check
      sysctl: call sysctl tests with a for loop
      sysctl: Close test ctl_headers with a for loop
