From c72258c7c9de448d5ea826ec6b4737eccbaa6718 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2008 17:49:42 +0100 Subject: x86: fix section mismatch warnings when referencing notifiers Fix the following warnings: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0xf8): Section mismatch in reference from the function msr_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:msr_class_cpu_notifier WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x158): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpuid_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpuid_class_cpu_notifier WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x171): Section mismatch in reference from the function microcode_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:mc_cpu_notifier In all three cases there were a function annotated __exit that referenced a variable annotated __cpuinitdata. The fix was to replace the annotation of the notifier with __refdata to tell modpost that the reference to a _cpuinit function in the notifier are OK. The unregister call that references the notifier variable will simple delete the function pointer so there is no problem ignoring the reference. Note: This looks like another case where __cpuinit has been used as replacement for proper use of CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to decide what code are used for HOTPLUG_CPU. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: "H.
