From: Huang Shijie
Date: Mon Dec 09 2024 - 02:21:03 EST


>From Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, we know that:
rodata= [KNL,EARLY]
on Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
off Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
full Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
[arm64]

So the "rodata=on" is the default.

But the current code does not follow the document, it makes "rodata=full"
as the default.

This patch set follows Anshuman Khandual's suggetions.
It makes the "rodata=on" as the default, and removes the CONFIG_RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED.

v3:
Follows Anshuman Khandual's suggetions:
- Merge patch 1 and patch 3 into one patch.
- Remove patch 4
- update comments and document.

v2:
Follows Will's suggetions.
Add a new file fine-tuning-tips.rst for the expert users.
