Subject: [PATCH] drivers/tty/hvc: don't free hvc_console_setup after init
Date: Fri, 02 May 2014 18:58:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140502225824.3868.84428.stgit@hds.com> (raw)
When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest,
hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV
and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel,
because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This
patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'.
