From 02dde8b45c5460794b9052d7c12939fe3eb63c2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:08:49 +0000 Subject: x86: move various CPU initialization objects into .cpuinit.rodata Impact: debuggability and micro-optimization Putting whatever is possible into the (final) .rodata section increases the likelihood of catching memory corruption bugs early, and reduces false cache line sharing.
