2026-08-07perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detachAditya Chillara1-30/+37
perf_group_detach() handles leader and sibling detach differently. When the group leader is detached, all siblings are promoted to singleton events and their group_leader pointer is reset to themselves. When a sibling is detached, it is removed from the leader's sibling_list, but its group_leader pointer is left pointing at the old leader. That is harmless when the sibling is being closed and freed immediately, as in the DETACH_DEAD path. It is not safe when the sibling is detached but kept alive, such as during CPU hotplug with DETACH_GROUP. In that case the sibling is removed from the context, while its file descriptor can still keep it alive. A typical failing sequence is: - A group contains leader L and sibling S. - CPU hot-unplug detaches S with DETACH_GROUP, removing it from L->sibling_list but leaving S->group_leader == L. - L is later closed and freed. - A PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP ioctl on S follows S->group_leader and dereferences the freed leader. This was reproduced by running the perf event fuzzer, CPU hotplug, and a stress workload concurrently: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 006b6b6b6b6b6cdb CPU: 2 PID: 12489 Comm: perf_fuzzer 6.18.7 PREEMPT pc : perf_ioctl+0x34c/0xc68 x20: ffffff89a3fa2c70 x8 : 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b Code: 943c4a0e 340047a0 f9404a94 f9411e88 (f940b908) Call trace: perf_ioctl+0x34c/0xc68 (P) __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xa0/0xf4 invoke_syscall+0x58/0xe4 el0_svc_common+0xa8/0xdc do_el0_svc+0x1c/0x28 el0_svc+0x40/0xc0 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x68/0xdc el0t_64_sync+0x1c4/0x1c8 The fault happened in perf_ioctl(), where perf_event_for_each() follows the stale group_leader pointer and perf_event_for_each_child() then dereferences the freed leader's context.

2026-08-07perf: Reject exited events as group leadersKyle Zeng1-1/+7
perf_event_remove_on_exec() sets remove-on-exec events to the EXIT state and detaches their group relationships. The event's file descriptor can remain open, however, and perf_event_open() currently accepts that event as a group leader because its early validation rejects only REVOKED and DEAD events. A new sibling can consequently be linked to the detached leader. When the leader is closed, perf_group_detach() observes that its PERF_ATTACH_GROUP bit is already clear and skips the new sibling. The sibling then retains a group_leader pointer to the freed event. Reject group leaders in the EXIT state. Perform the check while holding the shared context mutex so that an exec in the target task cannot detach the leader between validation and group attachment.

2026-08-07tracing/lock: Use TRACE_EVENT_FN() for contended_releaseDmitry Ilvokhin1-0/+4
queued_spin_unlock() gates its contended_release trace call behind a static branch, so a NOP sits on the unlock path even while the tracepoint is disabled. Removing that requires replacing the unlock implementation only while contended_release is enabled, which needs a callback when the tracepoint is toggled. Convert contended_release to TRACE_EVENT_FN() and add weak no-op arch_contended_release_trace_reg()/arch_contended_release_trace_unreg() hooks. The default hooks are empty, so this is a no-op until an architecture overrides them. No functional change intended.

2026-08-07locking/qspinlock: Add contended_release tracepointDmitry Ilvokhin2-0/+42
Unlike mutex and rw_semaphore, qspinlock has no owner field, so "perf lock contention --lock-owner" cannot attribute a contended spinlock to its holder. The waiter-side contention_begin event records that a spinlock is contended, but not by whom. Firing contended_release in the holder's context at unlock is the only way to capture the holder of a contended spinlock. Combine the contention check, trace call and release in an out-of-line queued_spin_release_traced() so the compiler need not preserve the lock pointer in a callee-saved register across the call. The check in queued_spin_unlock() is paid on every unlock, even while the tracepoint is disabled: a static-branch NOP on x86_64, and a few more instructions to manage a stack frame elsewhere. Gate it behind CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE (default n) so nobody pays for a tracepoint they do not use. Sleeping locks fire contended_release regardless. On x86 this generic path is used only with PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n (e.g. defconfig). PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y kernels keep the paravirt static_call unlock and are wired up separately. All below are with the QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE option enabled. _raw_spin_unlock(), x86_64 defconfig, GCC 11, tracepoint compiled in but disabled. The unlock is the single 'movb'. The only instruction added to the executed path is the 2-byte static-branch NOP. The CALL to the traced helper and the JMP back are emitted out of line and are reached only once the static branch is patched on: endbr64 ; 4 bytes xchg %ax,%ax ; 2 static-branch NOP ; (added) movb $0x0,(%rdi) ; 3 unlock (single store) A: decl %gs:__preempt_count ; 7 je B ; 2 jmp __x86_return_thunk ; 5 call queued_spin_release_traced ; 5 out of line, reached ; only when the ; tracepoint is on jmp A ; 2 (added) B: call __SCT__preempt_schedule ; 5 jmp __x86_return_thunk ; 5 Baseline is the same stream without the NOP and the out-of-line CALL/JMP: 31 bytes vs 40 (+9 bytes). Binary size impact on x86_64, defconfig: +680 bytes (+0.00%), since all standard configs out-of-line unlock. Architectures with inlined unlock (s390 (always), csky and loongarch (both when !PREEMPTION)) will see a bigger increase in binary size. On the same path (x86_64, PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n) with the tracepoint disabled, a _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload [1] shows no measurable difference between baseline and patched kernels in throughput, latency, cycles, instructions, IPC, or L1 instruction-cache misses (kernel and total): all deltas stay within run-to-run noise. Unlike x86, on arm64 the frame setup code (STP, MOV and LDP) lands on the executed path in addition to static-branch NOP. Binary size impact on arm64, defconfig: +932 bytes (+0.00%). The _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload reflects the larger hot path: L1 instruction-cache misses rise ~1.4% (kernel and total) and instruction count ~0.4%, consistent with the per-unlock frame. cpu_cycles, throughput and latency show no measurable change and are within run-to-run noise. Architectures with fully custom qspinlock implementations (e.g. PowerPC) are not covered by this change.

2026-08-07futex: Fix race in futex_pivot_pending() during private hash resizeYao Kai1-3/+4
A task performing a custom private hash resize can remain blocked in uninterruptible sleep indefinitely. The hung-task detector reports: INFO: task futex-resizer:314 blocked for more than 10 seconds. task:futex-resizer state:D stack:14824 pid:314 tgid:312 ppid:311 Call Trace: __schedule+0x521/0xf30 schedule+0x22/0xa0 futex_hash_allocate+0x3db/0x490 __do_sys_prctl+0x6f5/0xbd0 do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x530 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks futex_pivot_pending() allows the resize request to continue when either no replacement hash is pending (hash_new == NULL) or the current hash reference count has reached zero. After the final-reference wake, another futex task can complete the pivot between the two observations: T1 T2 futex_hash_allocate() wait_var_event(mm, ...) futex_pivot_pending(mm) hash_new != NULL futex_hash() futex_ref_get(old) -> false futex_pivot_hash(mm) hash_new = NULL __futex_pivot_hash(mm, new) rcu_assign_pointer(hash, new) fph = rcu_dereference(hash) /* new */ futex_ref_is_dead(fph) -> false schedule() The pivot changes the state from hash_new != NULL with a dead current hash to hash_new == NULL with a live current hash. Because futex_pivot_pending() reads hash_new and hash without serialization, the resize task can observe hash_new in the pre-pivot state and hash in the post-pivot state, causing futex_pivot_pending() to return false even though the pivot has completed. The task then goes to sleep after the wakeup has already been consumed. Serialize state reads in futex_pivot_pending() using futex_mm_phash::lock. This guarantees that futex_pivot_pending() observes hash_new and hash atomically, eliminating the race condition.

2026-08-07bpf: Reject load-acquire from pointers requiring fault protectionDaniel Borkmann1-1/+26
A BPF_LOAD_ACQ is not rewritten to a BPF_PROBE_MEM load by the verifier, unlike a regular BPF_LDX, so the JIT emits a plain load with no exception table entry and a fault panics the kernel instead of being handled. Reject the source pointer types that a BPF_LDX would have had that fault protection applied to, i.e. the ones bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() turns into BPF_PROBE_MEM: a bare PTR_TO_BTF_ID, PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED, PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC | PTR_UNTRUSTED and PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED. This is reachable e.g. by loading ->mm out of a trusted task_struct yields an untrusted pointer to mm_struct, and it is NULL for a kernel thread: [...] SEC("tp_btf/sched_switch") int BPF_PROG(demo, bool preempt, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next) { struct mm_struct *mm = next->mm; /* untrusted */ out_ldx = (__u64)mm->pgd; /* BPF_LDX */ out_acq = load_acquire(&mm->pgd); /* BPF_LOAD_ACQ */ return 0; } [...] Both dereference the same pointer, but only the BPF_LDX is protected (x86-64 JIT, jump targets shown prog-relative): [...] ; out_ldx = (__u64)mm->pgd; 17: movq $-10485760, %r10 1e: movq %rsi, %r11 21: addq $184, %r11 28: subq %r10, %r11 2b: movabsq $140737498841088, %r10 35: cmpq %r10, %r11 38: ja 0x3e <-- kernel addr? 3a: xorl %edi, %edi <-- no: dst = 0, skip the load 3c: jmp 0x45 3e: movq 184(%rsi), %rdi <-- yes: load + extable entry [...] ; load_acquire(&mm->pgd) 53: movq %rsi, %rdi 56: movq 184(%rdi), %rax <-- no check, no extable entry [...] Note that BPF_PROBE_MEM is not visible in a bpftool xlated dump, as bpf_insn_prepare_dump() rewrites it back to BPF_MEM. A PTR_TRUSTED pointer is deliberately not on the list. Such a load is not converted either, but it does not need to be, since the pointer is guaranteed live, so load-acquire from it stays allowed. The check is gated on BPF_LOAD_ACQ so that atomic RMW and store-release error messages are unchanged; writes (RMW / store-release) to such pointers are already rejected elsewhere, so only load-acquire needs this.

2026-08-06rqspinlock: Reset tail when preserving queue on deadlockKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-2/+3
Currently, the destruction of the waiter queue is suppressed for rqspinlock in cases where a deadlock is detected. Deadlock checks happen relatively frequently (on entry for AA, within 1ms for ABBA), and waiter threads may not be involved in locking scenarios involving deadlocks. Thus, it is useful to not flush the queue and let other waiters take a stab at acquiring the lock after we detect a deadlock and exit. However, we need to follow the same logic as what we did previously for the waitq_timeout label: reset the tail, and if we cannot, signal the next waiter appropriately. In case of deadlocks, this signal would just mark the MCS node as unlocked, and in case of timeouts, it would signal RES_TIMEOUT_VAL. The difference thus is in the value propagated, which decides whether the queue remains active or gets flushed. Not doing the tail reset, and waiting for the next waiter can lead to cases where we are the final waiter, and thus no next waiter arrives, leading to intermittent stalls in this path. Once the next waiter does join, we will be unblocked. In the theoretical case when the next waiter never joins, we risk stalling indefinitely. This can only happen for ABBA deadlocks, since entry into the wait queue is guarded with AA checks. A precise sequence of executions leading up to this scenario can be: CPU 0 holds lock A. CPU 1 holds lock B. CPU 2 attempts lock B, becomes the pending waiter for B. CPU 0 attempts lock B. B has locked+pending bits set, thus CPU 0 queues. CPU 1 attempts lock A. CPU 0 detects an ABBA deadlock. Once deadlock detection happens for CPU 0, it will sit waiting for the next waiter in the queue to populate node->next, which will experience delays until such a waiter arrives. Fix this by adjusting the logic for the check for deadlocks preceding the waitq_timeout label. It would make sense to consolidate code for both cases and use 'ret' to distinguish the value being propagated, but that is left as an exercise for a future refactoring task to avoid diff noise in this patch.

2026-08-06cgroup/dmem: Add reclaim callback for lowering max below current usageThomas Hellström1-12/+68
Add an optional reclaim callback to struct dmem_cgroup_region. When dmem.max is set below the current usage of a cgroup pool, the new limit is applied immediately (so that concurrent allocations are throttled while reclaim is in progress) and then the driver is asked to evict memory to bring usage back below the limit. Reclaim is attempted up to a bounded number of times. No error is returned to userspace if usage remains above the limit after reclaim, and a pending signal will abort the reclaim loop early. This matches the behavior of memory.max in the memory cgroup controller. Also honor O_NONBLOCK so that if that flag is set during the max value write, no reclaim is initiated. The idea is to avoid charging the reclaim cost to the writer of the max value. v2: - Write max before reclaim is attempted (Maarten) - Let signals abort the reclaim without error (Maarten) - If a new max value is written with the O_NONBLOCK flag, reclaim is not attempted (Maarten) - Extract region from the pool parameter rather than passing it explicitly to set_resource_xxx(). v3: - Use an rw_semaphore (unregister_sem) to protect reclaim callbacks against concurrent region unregistration: readers (reclaim) hold the read side; dmem_cgroup_unregister_region() takes the write side to drain in-flight callbacks before returning. (Sashiko-bot) v5: - Rebased on the introduction of struct dmem_cgroup_init. - Use nonblock=true in reset_all_resource_limits() to avoid sleeping inside rcu_read_lock() in dmemcs_offline(). (Sashiko-bot) - Compare usage against the truncated limit value stored in cnt.max, not the original u64. (Sashiko-bot) - Use a DMEM_MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) retry budget instead of 5, matching the memcg controller's MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. Only -ENOSPC (no progress) counts against the retry budget; other errors terminate the loop immediately. v6: - Fix dmem_cgroup_ops->reclaim docstring: -ENOSPC does not stop reclaim immediately but is retried up to DMEM_MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES times; only other negative errors terminate the loop. (Sashiko-bot) v7: - Replace the per-region rw_semaphore with a static SRCU domain (dmemcg_srcu). SRCU is a better fit than rwsem for this use: it avoids the per-region lock overhead on every reclaim call, and synchronize_srcu() at unregister time is a rare operation. (Maarten) - Trim in-function comments to focus on what rather than how.

2026-08-06module/dups: Avoid unnecessary kmod_dup_req allocationsPetr Pavlu1-16/+22
The kmod dups code preallocates kmod_dup_req before taking kmod_dup_mutex to avoid allocating memory while holding the lock. This provides little benefit, since the allocation is fast and can safely be done under the lock. On the other hand, it leads to unnecessary allocations when the request turns out to be a duplicate and slightly complicates the code. Allocate kmod_dup_req only when needed and introduce a helper function alloc_kmod_req() to initialize the structure.

2026-08-06module/dups: Fix use-after-free in kmod_dup_req lifetime handlingPetr Pavlu1-16/+40
The kmod dups code uses RCU to ensure that a kmod_dup_req instance is freed only after it is no longer referenced. When releasing an instance, the kmod_dup_request_delete() function removes the kmod_dup_req from the dup_kmod_reqs list, waits via synchronize_rcu() and finally frees it. However, this doesn't work correctly because parallel users referencing the instance in kmod_dup_request_exists_wait() don't enter an RCU read-side critical section. This can result in a use-after-free. The kmod_dup_request_exists_wait() function may need to hold a valid reference to a kmod_dup_req instance across a blocking wait until the corresponding modprobe command completes. This makes it unsuitable for RCU. Fix the issue by changing the lifecycle management of kmod_dup_req to use reference counting.

Both try_add_failed_module() and kmod_dup_request_exists_wait() use memcpy() with strlen() to copy module names into fixed-size char[MODULE_NAME_LEN] buffers. Neither performs a bounds check on the copy. Current callers always pass names originating from mod->name (itself char[MODULE_NAME_LEN]), so this is not exploitable today. However both functions accept a plain const char * with no documented length contract, making them latent buffer overflows if a future caller passes a longer string.

With KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE available, retaining this list creates two sources of truth and requires verifier changes whenever another lock-safe kfunc is added.

2026-08-05bpf: Harden bloom filter sizing and indexing on 32-bit kernelsJérémy Jean1-10/+9
bloom_map_alloc() has two 32-bit-specific problems when the computed bitmap reaches the U32_MAX fallback case. First, BITS_TO_BYTES(U32_MAX) is evaluated with 32-bit arithmetic. The addition performed by DIV_ROUND_UP wraps, so the map allocates only the fixed-size bloom filter object while keeping bitset_mask == U32_MAX. Subsequent updates can then write past the allocated object. Second, fixing only the allocation size is not sufficient. The bloom hash is a u32, but set_bit() takes a signed long bit number and x86 test_bit() eventually feeds the index to variable_test_bit(long, ...). On 32-bit kernels, hashes in [0x80000000, U32_MAX] therefore become negative bit offsets. x86 bt/bts with a memory operand interpret those offsets relative to the supplied base, so a map with bitset_mask == U32_MAX can read or write before bloom->bitset even after allocating the full 512 MiB bitmap. Keep the U32_MAX fallback, but split each hash into a word pointer and an in-word bit number before calling test_bit() or set_bit(). The bitops argument is then always in [0, BITS_PER_LONG - 1], while BIT_WORD(h) still selects the intended word in the full bitmap. Compute the bitset size from (u64)bitset_mask + 1 before passing the final size to bpf_map_area_alloc(). This fixes the original under-allocation and keeps the allocated storage consistent with the addressable bitset. Exploitation note: local privilege escalation is possible on a 32-bit x86 kernel using the under-allocation bug from a binary with CAP_BPF.

2026-08-05bpf: Disable preemption in __bpf_get_stackDaniel Borkmann1-0/+3
get_perf_callchain() returns a per-CPU perf_callchain_entry buffer and releases its recursion slot via put_callchain_entry() before returning, so nothing keeps the entry reserved while __bpf_get_stack() consumes it below. A preemptible BPF program (e.g. a non-sleepable raw tracepoint program on a PREEMPT kernel, which runs under migrate_disable() but not preempt_disable()) can be scheduled out between obtaining the entry and the copy. Another task scheduled on the same CPU then reuses the same per-CPU buffer and overwrites trace->nr with a larger value. copy_len is then computed from the inflated trace->nr and can exceed the caller's buffer, causing an out-of-bounds write in the memcpy() and in the build_id path. The rcu_read_lock() taken here alone does not prevent this. It is only taken on the may_fault path, and under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU it does not disable preemption; it merely keeps perf's callchain buffer array alive (freed via call_rcu()) and does nothing to stop another task from reusing the entry. Disable preemption around obtaining the callchain entry and copying it into the caller's buffer, so the entry cannot be reused underneath us and trace->nr stays bounded by max_depth. Build ID resolution may fault and is therefore deferred until after preemption is re-enabled; by then the instruction pointers have already been copied into buf, so it operates only on that private copy. Note, preempt_disable() also subsumes the buffer-lifetime guarantee the rcu_read_lock() provided, since a preempt-disabled section is an RCU read-side critical section for the callchain buffers' call_rcu() reclaim.

2026-08-05kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RTTetsuo Handa1-43/+47
syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently allocated as the per-CPU area. On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads (e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area. However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher- priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV state. Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites. Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's KCOV state. It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init() has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node() in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in (1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context (2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but kcov->remote_size < CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE (3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all OOM-killable userspace processes problems.

2026-08-05taskstats: fix cpumask parsing cutting off the last characterBradley Morgan1-2/+1
parse() hands nla_strscpy() len as dstsize, and nla_strscpy() copies at most dstsize - 1 bytes. When the attr payload comes in without a trailing NUL, srclen == len >= dstsize and the last character of the cpumask string gets cut off. Register "0-15" and you are silently listening on "0-1", exit data for the rest never shows up. The bug only bites when the sender doesn't NUL terminate the payload; senders that include the NUL were always fine (srclen gets decremented for the trailing NUL, so srclen < dstsize). Thats probably why this survived 20 years. And the policy is NLA_STRING, not NLA_NUL_STRING, so a payload without the trailing NUL is legit input here. Skip the kmalloc/nla_strscpy dance entirely and use nla_strdup(), which already allocates srclen + 1 and terminates. The nla_len() bounds checks stay as they were.

2026-08-05bpf: Inline bpf_iter_num_next() kfuncPuranjay Mohan1-0/+17
bpf_iter_num_next() runs on every bpf_for() iteration, so inlining it drops a call from the loop body. R1 points to the iterator; the returned pointer to s->cur is R1 itself, since s->cur is first. s->cur and s->end are int, so the kfunc's s->cur + 1 >= s->end is a signed 32-bit compare and the inlined code needs no sign extension.

2026-08-05bpf: Inline bpf_iter_num_new() kfuncPuranjay Mohan2-2/+26
bpf_for() expands to the bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}() kfuncs, which the verifier emits as regular calls. They are tiny and only touch the 8-byte on-stack iterator state, so open-code them in bpf_fixup_kfunc_call() like the other special kfuncs there. Start with bpf_iter_num_new(): R1 points to the iterator, R2/R3 hold start/end. The inlined sequence mirrors the kfunc and returns the same -EINVAL / -E2BIG / 0. start > end is rejected first, so end - start fits in a u32; range-check it as u32 on both sides ((u32)(end - start) in the kfunc). A movsx-based check would emit a cpuv4 instruction that some JITs (x86-32, mips32, sparc64) decode as a plain move and get wrong. The emitted instructions are plain BPF, so the interpreter path stays correct and no jit_required marking is needed.

2026-08-05bpf: Correct the overflow check comment in bpf_iter_num_next()Puranjay Mohan1-5/+4
The comment on the s->cur + 1 >= s->end check claims the (s64) cast is needed to avoid overflow when s->cur == s->end == INT_MAX. It isn't: s->cur + 1 is computed in int and wraps before the cast, so the cast changes nothing (INT_MAX + 1 compares the same either way). The wraparound is the point. bpf_iter_num_new() sets s->cur = start - 1, which wraps to INT_MAX for start == INT_MIN, and the wrapping s->cur + 1 brings it back to start. (s64)s->cur + 1 would instead break iterators starting at INT_MIN. Drop the cast and reword the comment. No functional change; the wrap is well-defined under -fno-strict-overflow.

2026-08-05sysctl: remove CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, it just mirrors CONFIG_SYSCTLOleg Nesterov6-18/+17
CONFIG_SYSCTL used to make sense as a separate hidden bool before commit 61a47c1ad3a4 ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"); it was selected by both CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL. Today CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL is the only selector, so the two are always equal. Kill the hidden bool, rename the PROC_SYSCTL prompt to SYSCTL, and s/CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSCTL/ tree-wide.
