commite3184de9d4upstream. 'obj-$(CONFIG_SYSCTL) += sysctls.o' must be moved after "obj-y :=", or it won't be built as it is overwrited. Note that there is nothing that is going to break by linking sysctl.o later, we were just being way to cautious and patches have been updated to reflect these considerations and sent for stable as well with the whole "base" stuff needing to be linked prior to child sysctl tables that use that directory. All of the kernel sysctl APIs always share the same directory, and races against using it should end up re-using the same single created directory. And so something we can do eventually is do away with all the base stuff. For now it's fine, it's not creating an issue. It is just a bit pedantic and careful.

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 Restructured Text 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.
