| |
Mark the three IPI-related globals in smp.c as "__ro_after_init" since they are only ever set in set_smp_ipi_range(), which is marked "__init". This is a better and more secure marking than the old "__read_mostly".
Suggested-by: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@chromium.org> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Tested-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wenst@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> --- This patch is almost completely unrelated to the rest of the series other than the fact that it would cause a merge conflict with the series if sent separately. I tacked it on to this series in response to Stephen's feedback on v11 of this series [1]. If someone hates it (not sure why they would), it could be dropped. If someone loves it, it could be promoted to the start of the series and/or land on its own (resolving merge conflicts).
