From a7fb58b2c8a16c7e9435255bd95d4bf218542145 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2019 21:10:21 -0500 Subject: 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.
