The permissions callback should not modify the ctl_table. Enforce this
expectation via the typesystem. This is a step to put "struct ctl_table"
into .rodata throughout the kernel.
The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:
@@
identifier func, head, ctl;
@@
int func(
struct ctl_table_header *head,
- struct ctl_table *ctl)
+ const struct ctl_table *ctl)
{ ... }
(insert_entry() from fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c is a false-positive)
No additional occurrences of '.permissions =' were found after a
tree-wide search for places missed by the conccinelle script.

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.
