powerpc: Keep const vars out of writable .sdata Newer gcc will support "-mno-readonly-in-sdata"[1], which makes sure that the optimization on PPC32 for variables getting moved into the .sdata section will not apply to const variables (which must be in .rodata). This was originally noticed in mm/rodata_test.c when rodata_test_data was not static: c0695034 g O .data 00000004 rodata_test_data After this patch with an updated compiler, this is correctly in .rodata.
