kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move the random sysctls to their own file and use
register_sysctl_init().

[mcgrof@kernel.org: commit log update to justify the move]

Patch series "sysctl: second set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.

This is the 2nd set of kernel/sysctl.c cleanups.  The diff stat should
reflect how this is a much better way to deal with theses.  Fortunately
coccinelle can be used to ensure correctness for most of these and/or
future merge conflicts.

Note that since this is part of a larger effort to cleanup
kernel/sysctl.c I think we have no other option but to go with merging
these patches in either Andrew's tree or keep them staged in a separate
tree and send a merge request later.  Otherwise kernel/sysctl.c will end
up becoming a sore spot for the next merge window.

This patch (of 8):

There is no need to user boiler plate code to specify a set of base
directories we're going to stuff sysctls under.  Simplify this by using
register_sysctl() and specifying the directory path directly.

Now that have_bytes is never modified, we can simplify this function.
First, we move the check for negative entropy_count to be first. That
ensures that subsequent reads of this will be non-negative. Then,
have_bytes and ibytes can be folded into their one use site in the
min_t() function.

This is an old driver that has seen a lot of different eras of kernel
coding style. In an effort to make it easier to code for, unify the
coding style around the current norm, by accepting some of -- but
certainly not all of -- the suggestions from clang-format. This should
remove ambiguity in coding style, especially with regards to spacing,
when code is being changed or amended. Consequently it also makes code
review easier on the eyes, following one uniform style rather than
several.

when code is being changed or amended. Consequently it also makes code
review easier on the eyes, following one uniform style rather than
several.

<title>random: access input_pool_data directly rather than through pointer</title>

This gets rid of another abstraction we no longer need. It would be nice
if we could instead make pool an array rather than a pointer, but the
latent entropy plugin won't be able to do its magic in that case. So
instead we put all accesses to the input pool's actual data through the
input_pool_data array directly.

<title>random: cleanup fractional entropy shift constants</title>

The entropy estimator is calculated in terms of 1/8 bits, which means
there are various constants where things are shifted by 3. Move these
into our pool info enum with the other relevant constants. While we're
at it, move an English assertion about sizes into a proper BUILD_BUG_ON
so that the compiler can ensure this invariant.

The other pool constants are prepended with POOL_, but not these last
ones. Rename them. This will then let us move them into the enum in the
following commit.

We already had the POOL_* constants, so deduplicate the older INPUT_POOL
ones. As well, fold EXTRACT_SIZE into the poolinfo enum, since it's
related.

<title>random: remove unused OUTPUT_POOL constants</title>

We no longer have an output pool. Rather, we have just a wakeup bits
threshold for /dev/random reads, presumably so that processes don't
hang. This value, random_write_wakeup_bits, is configurable anyway. So
all the no longer usefully named OUTPUT_POOL constants were doing was
setting a reasonable default for random_write_wakeup_bits. This commit
gets rid of the constants and just puts it all in the default value of
random_write_wakeup_bits.

<title>random: rather than entropy_store abstraction, use global</title>

Originally, the RNG used several pools, so having things abstracted out
over a generic entropy_store object made sense. These days, there's only
one input pool, and then an uneven mix of usage via the abstraction and
usage via &amp;input_pool. Rather than this uneasy mixture, just get rid of
the abstraction entirely and have things always use the global. This
simplifies the code and makes reading it a bit easier.
