[PATCH] ARM: VDSO: put read only/mostly objects into proper sections
From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Wed Aug 10 2016 - 16:24:26 EST
vdso_data_mapping is never modified, so mark it as const.
vdso_data_page and vdso_text_mapping are initialized by vdso_init(),
thereafter are mostly read during vdso special mapping handling.
The fact that they are mostly read and not written to makes them
candidates for __read_mostly declarations.
