Message-Id: <47873D11.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:55:29 +0000 From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@...ell.com> To: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH 0/4] __cpuinitconst and __devinitconst Since __cpuinitdata/__devinitdata don't allow const to be specified with them (otherwise .init.data sections with and without the writeable attribute will be generated by the compiler), and since __devinitdata except for embedded systems evaluates to <empty> unconditionally and __cpuinitdata at least in most production kernel configurations also likely evaluates to <empty>, it seems appropriate to add an additional attribute allowing the respective objects to end up in .rodata rather than .data when not used at initialization time only. Patch 1 introduces __cpuinitconst and a single common code consumer. Patch 2 adds a number of x86 consumers of __cpuinitconst. Patch 3 introduces __devinitconst and common code consumers. Patch 4 adds a number of x86 consumers of __devinitconst.
