Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] arm64/boot: Move global CPU override variables out of BSS
Date: Thu,  8 May 2025 13:43:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250508114328.2460610-7-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250508114328.2460610-5-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Accessing BSS will no longer be permitted from the startup code in
arch/arm64/kernel/pi, as some of it executes before BSS is cleared.
Clearing BSS earlier would involve managing cache coherency explicitly
in software, which is a hassle we prefer to avoid.

So move some variables that are assigned by the startup code out of BSS
and into .data.
