'struct thermal_zone_device_ops' are not modified in these drivers. Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers. On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 28116 5168 128 33412 8284 drivers/thermal/armada_thermal.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 28244 5040 128 33412 8284 drivers/thermal/armada_thermal.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Reviewed-by: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com> # For Armada Reviewed-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund+renesas@ragnatech.se> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/5bba3bf0139e2418b306a0f9a2f1f81ef49e88a6.1748165978.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.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.
