The patch titled
x86_64 vDSO: put vars in .rodata
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86_64-vdso-put-vars-in-rodata.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: x86_64 vDSO: put vars in .rodata
From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>
This adds a const to the definitions vvar.c makes, so that the vdso_*
variables go into .rodata instead of .data. This is essentially a cosmetic
change, just giving the section headers in the vDSO file more pleasing flags.
These variables are read-only from the perspective of the vDSO itself and user
mode, even though the contents of the DSO image were adjusted at boot.
