[PATCH v2 0/4] arm64: put objects into proper sections

From: Jisheng Zhang <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-11 13:41:33
Also in: lkml

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

Jisheng Zhang (4):
  arm64: vdso: add __init section marker to alloc_vectors_page
  arm64: vdso: constify vm_special_mapping used for aarch32 vectors page
  arm64: kaslr: Fix incorrect placement of __initdata and __read_mostly
  arm64: apply __ro_after_init to some objects
