Linus Torvalds af13ff1c33 Summary: 
All ctl_table declared outside of functions and that remain unmodified after
   initialization are const qualified. This prevents unintended modifications to
   proc_handler function pointers by placing them in the .rodata section. This is
   a continuation of the tree-wide effort started a few releases ago with the
   constification of the ctl_table struct arguments in the sysctl API done in
   78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of
   proc_handlers")
 
 Testing:
 
   Testing was done on 0-day and sysctl selftests in x86_64. The linux-next
   branch was not used for such a big change in order to avoid unnecessary merge
   conflicts

Pull sysctl table constification from Joel Granados:

README

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
