Subject: [PATCH] add utsname_set_field to reuse code in setdomainname and sethostname
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 13:07:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105120751.920311-1-laurijssen@protonmail.com> (raw)

- add utsname_set_field to utsname_sysctl.c, it reuses duplicated code
- call utsname_set_field from sethostname/setdomainname
- moved uts_proc_notify from .h into utsname_sysctl.c and turned static
