Subject: [PATCH V6 0/2] arm64: refactor the rodata=xxx
Date: Thu,  3 Jul 2025 17:42:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250703094212.20294-1-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com> (raw)

From Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, we know that:
 rodata=	[KNL,EARLY]
	on	Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
	off	Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
	full	Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
		[arm64]

So the "rodata=on" is the default.

But the current code does not follow the document, it makes "rodata=full"
as the default.

This patch set follows Anshuman Khandual's suggetions.
It makes the "rodata=on" as the default, and removes
the CONFIG_RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED.

v6:
  Fix a small issue pointed by Randy Dunlap.

v5:
  Rebase this patch set with linux-next20250627
  https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2025-June/1040297.html

v4:
  Follows Anshuman Khandual/Ard Biesheuvel's suggetions:
  - Change commit message format.
  - Change the titile name.
  - others
  https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2024-December/985629.html

v3:
  Follows Anshuman Khandual's suggetions:
  - Merge patch 1 and patch 3 into one patch.
  - Remove patch 4
  - update comments and document.
   https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2024-December/984344.html

v2:
  Follows Will's suggetions.
  Add a new file fine-tuning-tips.rst for the expert users.
