'struct rtl_hal_ops' and 'struct rtl_hal_cfg' are not modified in these drivers. Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers. Constification of rtl_hal_cfg is only needed in rtl8192cu/sw.c On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 10167 5512 128 15807 3dbf drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8188ee/sw.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 10743 4936 128 15807 3dbf drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8188ee/sw.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/2c3f3d8d8b2f7dcb8cc64cebe89e55720d1d733d.1747500351.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr
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.
