Since commit 7abc9b53bd ("sysctl: allow registration of const struct
ctl_table"), the sysctl registration API allows struct ctl_table variables
to be placed into read-only memory.
mac_hid_files is registered as a sysctl table and should be treated as
read-only. By declaring the mac_hid_files structure as const, we ensure
that it cannot be accidentally modified. This change improves safety.

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 reStructuredText 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.
