From 4916ca401e3051dad326ddd69765bd0e3f32fb9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucian Adrian Grijincu Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 18:44:56 +0200 Subject: security: remove unused security_sysctl hook The only user for this hook was selinux. sysctl routes every call through /proc/sys/. Selinux and other security modules use the file system checks for sysctl too, so no need for this hook any more.
