These 'struct kobj_type' are not modified. They are only used in kobject_init() which takes a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype' parameter. Constifying these structure and moving them to a read-only section (from data to text), and can increase over all security. ``` [Before] text data bss dec hex filename 10330 1908 20 12258 2fe2 drivers/uio/uio.o [After] text data bss dec hex filename 10458 1844 20 12322 3022 drivers/uio/uio.o ``` Signed-off-by: Hongbo Li <lihongbo22@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904012200.2010916-1-lihongbo22@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
