Subject: [PATCH] x86,nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit
Date: Mon,  4 Jun 2012 15:56:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1338839763-11140-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> (raw)

It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of section
mismatch warnings:

 VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
  LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o
  LD      arch/x86/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable
test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback()
The variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 references
the function __init test_nmi_ipi_callback()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in reference from the variable
nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function .init.text:nmi_unk_cb()
The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 references
the function __init nmi_unk_cb()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

Both of these are attributed to the callback functions of this self contained
test.  It seems this happened when the function added new __init sections in
commit f0ba662.

I fixed this by converting the callback functions from __init to __ref.  The file
compiles and boots on my machine for 32-bit and 64-bit.

Not sure why 64-bit never showed this warning.  Nor am I entirely sure why this
warning popped up to begin with.

Let me know if there is a better way to fix this.
