'struct i2c_algorithm' is not modified in this driver. Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so increase 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 11027 646 16 11689 2da9 drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rzv2m.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 11107 566 16 11689 2da9 drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rzv2m.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Reviewed-by: Fabrizio Castro <fabrizio.castro.jz@renesas.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/537d93441ced53bffa6553b8ec93d007e64cb9a5.1743258995.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@kernel.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.
