Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: VDSO: put RO and RO after init objects into proper sections
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 21:52:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470923539-958-1-git-send-email-jszhang@marvell.com> (raw)

vdso_data_mapping is never modified, so mark it as const.

vdso_total_pages, vdso_data_page, vdso_text_mapping and cntvct_ok are
initialized by vdso_init(), thereafter are read only.

The fact that they are read only after init makes them candidates for
__ro_after_init declarations.

Signed-off-by: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@marvell.com>
---

Since v1:
  - use __ro_after_init instead of __read_mostly
  - apply __ro_after_init for vdso_total_pages and cntvct_ok as well
