[PATCH 5/5] arm64: make sys_call_table const

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Fri Jan 09 2015 - 10:57:50 EST


From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed
in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table
(accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in
place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no
functional change.
