[PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: put objects into proper sections

Show all headers | View raw

This series tries to put some 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.

Changes since v2:
  - include <linux/cache.h> for __ro_after_init, thank Mark's suggestions
  - make vdso_spec[0].pages and vdso_spec[1].pages assignment style
    consistent, thank Mark for pointing it out.

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
