[PATCH 2/4] runtime constants: add default dummy infrastructure

Linus Torvalds torvalds at linux-foundation.org
Tue Jul 9 08:52:36 PDT 2024


This adds the initial dummy support for 'runtime constants' for when
an architecture doesn't actually support an implementation of fixing
up said runtime constants.

This ends up being the fallback to just using the variables as regular
__ro_after_init variables, and changes the dcache d_hash() function to
use this model.
