[RFC PATCH v2 01/26] arm64: lib: Annotate {clear,copy}_page() as position-independent

From: Quentin Perret <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-08 12:16:25
Also in: kvmarm, linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

clear_page() and copy_page() are suitable for use outside of the kernel
address space, so annotate them as position-independent code.
