On powerpc, RODATA_TEST fails with message the following messages:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 528K
rodata_test: test data was not read only
This is because GCC allocates it to .data section:
c0695034 g O .data 00000004 rodata_test_data
Since commit 056b9d8a7692 ("mm: remove rodata_test_data export, add
pr_fmt"), rodata_test_data is used only inside rodata_test.c By
declaring it static, it gets properly allocated into .rodata section
instead of .data:
c04df710 l O .rodata 00000004 rodata_test_data
Fixes: 056b9d8a7692 ("mm: remove rodata_test_data export, add pr_fmt")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
