"struct vcap_operations" are not modified in these drivers. Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security. In order to do it, "struct vcap_control" also needs to be adjusted to this new const qualifier. As an example, on a x86_64, with allmodconfig: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 15176 1094 16 16286 3f9e drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_vcap_impl.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 15268 998 16 16282 3f9a drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_vcap_impl.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Reviewed-by: Daniel Machon <daniel.machon@microchip.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d8e76094d2e98ebb5bfc8205799b3a9db0b46220.1718524644.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
