From 52117da87994ff1c428c68d9a493c16168969065 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2019 13:35:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: ensure that processor vtables is not lost after boot Commit 3a4d0c2172bcf15b7a3d9d498b2b355f9864286b upstream. Marek Szyprowski reported problems with CPU hotplug in current kernels. This was tracked down to the processor vtables being located in an init section, and therefore discarded after kernel boot, despite being required after boot to properly initialise the non-boot CPUs. Arrange for these tables to end up in .rodata when required.
