'struct usb_device_id' and 'struct us_unusual_dev' are not modified in these drivers. Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers (which is the case for struct us_unusual_dev). On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 25249 4261 896 30406 76c6 drivers/usb/storage/alauda.o 3969 672 360 5001 1389 drivers/usb/storage/cypress_atacb.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 25461 4041 896 30398 76be drivers/usb/storage/alauda.o 4225 400 360 4985 1379 drivers/usb/storage/cypress_atacb.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/b1b75a2a64b1f6cfad2a611f71393f281178fd3f.1724507157.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.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.
