Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Add boot option to disable randomized mappings and cleanup
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a62eaf151d9cb478d127cfbc2e93c498869785b0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

[PATCH] x86_64: Add boot option to disable randomized mappings and cleanup

AMD SimNow!'s JIT doesn't like them at all in the guest. For distribution
installation it's easiest if it's a boot time option.

Also I moved the variable to a more appropiate place and make
it independent from sysctl

And marked __read_mostly which it is.
