Subject: [PATCH V5 2/2] arm64/Kconfig: Remove CONFIG_RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED
Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2025 11:02:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250630030228.4221-3-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250630030228.4221-1-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com>

After patch "arm64: refacotr the rodata=xxx",
the "rodata=on" becomes the default.

     ......................................
	if (!strcmp(arg, "on")) {
		rodata_enabled = rodata_full = true;
		return true;
	}
     ......................................

The rodata_full is always "true" via "rodata=on" and does not
depend on the config RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED anymore,
so it can be dropped.
