From b89a81712f486e4f7a606987413e387605fdeaf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:51:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: Allow /proc/sys without sys_sysctl Since sys_sysctl is deprecated start allow it to be compiled out. This should catch any remaining user space code that cares, and paves the way for further sysctl cleanups. [akpm@osdl.org: If sys_sysctl() is not compiled-in, emit a warning] Signed-off-by: Eric W.
