[PATCH v2] ARM: VDSO: put RO and RO after init objects into proper sections

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Thu Aug 11 2016 - 09:57:12 EST


vdso_data_mapping is never modified, so mark it as const.

vdso_total_pages, vdso_data_page, vdso_text_mapping and cntvct_ok are
initialized by vdso_init(), thereafter are read only.

The fact that they are read only after init makes them candidates for
__ro_after_init declarations.

Since v1:
- use __ro_after_init instead of __read_mostly
- apply __ro_after_init for vdso_total_pages and cntvct_ok as well
