Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 12:34:33 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>, "David A. Long" <dave.long@...aro.org>, Sasha Levin <sashal@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 4.20 022/117] ARM: fix the cockup in the previous patch 4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ Commit d6951f582cc50ba0ad22ef46b599740966599b14 upstream. The intention in the previous patch was to only place the processor tables in the .rodata section if big.Little was being built and we wanted the branch target hardening, but instead (due to the way it was tested) it ended up always placing the tables into the .rodata section. Although harmless, let's correct this anyway.
