[PATCH 03/12] rcu: Move rcu_stall related sysctls into rcu/tree_stall.h

From: Joel Granados
Date: Fri May 09 2025 - 08:56:14 EST


Move sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall and sysctl_max_rcu_stall_to_panic into
the kernel/rcu subdirectory. Make these static in tree_stall.h and
removed them as extern from panic.h as their scope is now confined into
one file.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.
