[PATCH v7 0/2] arm64: refactor the rodata=xxx

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



>From Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, we know that:
 rodata=	[KNL,EARLY]
	on	Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
	off	Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
	full	Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
		[arm64]

So the "rodata=on" is the default.

But the current code does not follow the document, it makes "rodata=full"
as the default.

This patch set follows Anshuman Khandual's suggetions.
It makes the "rodata=on" as the default, and removes the CONFIG_RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED.

v7:
  Change the code by following Will's suggestions.
  
v6:
  Fix a small issue pointed by Randy Dunlap.
