[PATCH] x86/apic: Annotate global config variables as "read-only after init"

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Mon Aug 05 2019 - 17:21:38 EST


Mark the APIC's global config variables that are constant after boot as
__ro_after_init to help document that the majority of the APIC config is
not changed at runtime, and to harden the kernel a smidge.

This applies on tip/x86/apic, which is currently:

43931d350f30 ("x86/apic/x2apic: Implement IPI shorthands support")

Let me know if this patch should be based on a different tree.
