[RFC PATCH 01/27] arm64: lib: Annotate {clear,copy}_page() as position-independent

From: Quentin Perret
Date: Tue Nov 17 2020 - 13:16:25 EST


From: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx>

clear_page() and copy_page() are suitable for use outside of the kernel
address space, so annotate them as position-independent code.
