Subject: [PATCH 13/19] ARM: exceptions: make in-binary exception table const
Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:26:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105-pbl-load-elf-v1-13-e97853f98232@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260105-pbl-load-elf-v1-0-e97853f98232@pengutronix.de>

When making the .text section const we can no longer modify the code.
On ARMv5/v6 we finally use a copy of the exception table anyway, so
instead of modifying it in-place and copy afterwards, copy it first and
then modify it.
