Subject[PATCH 3/4] module: Use a list of strings for ro_after_init sections
Date
Instead of open-coding the section names, use a list for the sections that
need to be marked read-only after init. Unfortunately, it seems we can't
do normal section merging with scripts/module.lds.S as ld.bfd doesn't
correctly update symbol tables. For more details, see commit 6a3193cdd5e5
("kbuild: lto: Merge module sections if and only if CONFIG_LTO_CLANG
is enabled").
