The kheaders archive consisting of the kernel headers used for compiling
bpf programs is in /proc. However there is concern that moving it here
will make it permanent. Let us move it to /sys/kernel as discussed [1].

Good in changing the config name, I hadn't thought of that.

Same here, nice.

Minor nit, are you sure about __ro_after_init for an attribute
structure?  Is it even needed?

BIN_ATTR_RO?  Ah, no, that will not work with the name of the file,
nevermind.

But, you should change S_IRUGO to the correct octal number, checkpatch
should have barfed on this change.

Yes, because after init, we don't need to change it, so it makes it more
robust to accidental overwrite. We change it on init because we have to
calculate the size of the archive. I was following this from kernel/ksysfs.c
actually.

I have recently encountered this mechanism in the module loader as well while
doing an RCU patch. The module loader post init will mark the page as
read-only and any writes to it will fault. These variables will be placed in
a ".data.ro_after_init" or a similarly named section in the module ELF.

fixed, below is the updated patch inline, thanks!

In v1, I suggested to change "depends on PROC_FS"
to "depends on SYSFS".

fs/sysfs/ must be compiled to make this feature work.

While you are touching the help,
could you make the number of spaces
between sentences consistent?


Thanks.

Please resend as a "real" submission, doing so in this format is a bit
more difficult to apply.

Thanks makes sense. So Greg, I submitted this properly, does it look good to
you now? Steven, I would appreciate any Acks/Reviews on the patch as well:

Me too. Feel free to add

Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

But as for reviewing, I see nothing wrong with it, but I doubt I'll
