Subject: [PATCH] arm64: move kimage_vaddr to .rodata
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2020 11:38:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200312093846.153235-1-remi@remlab.net> (raw)
From: Remi Denis-Courmont <remi.denis.courmont@huawei•com>
This datum is not referenced from .idmap.text: it does not need to be
mapped in idmap. Lets move it to .rodata as it is never written to after
early boot of the primary CPU.
(Maybe .data.ro_after_init would be cleaner though?)
