Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] arm64: put objects into proper sections
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 21:36:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470922609-754-1-git-send-email-jszhang@marvell.com> (raw)
This series tries to put objects into proper sections.
patch1 puts alloc_vectors_page() into .init section. This is a clean up
patch.
patch2 constify vm_special_mapping used for aarch32 vectors page.
patch3 fix the incorrect placement of __initdata and __read_mostly
patch4 apply __ro_after_init to some objects
Previously I only want to mark vdso_pages, vdso_spec, vectors_page and
cpu_ops as __read_mostly for performance reason. Then inspired by
Kees's patch[1], I think __ro_after_init is better.
[1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg523188.html
Changes since v1:
- use __ro_after_init instead of __read_mostly
- find more objects to be suitable for __ro_after_init
- add one more patch to fix the incorrect placement of __initdata and
__read_mostly
