+Subject: arm64: make sys_call_table const
+
+From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
+
+commit c623b33b4e9599c6ac5076f7db7369eb9869aa04 upstream.
+
+As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed
+in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table
+(accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in
+place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no
+functional change.
