Subject: [REPOST][TRIVIAL][PATCH 1/1] Fix various section mismatches in 2.6.30-rc7
Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 12:54:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <430c80e90905290024n702a5210pecf9424331030a13@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <430c80e90905260118t16a51f20x48c39fd03c1331a7@mail.gmail.com>
Hello,
Fix the following section mismatches reported by
$make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y
For the first warning, intel_lvds_init might get called after module
has been loaded,
intel_no_lvds shouldn't be marked __initdata.
For the others the explanation is in the below warnings.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x25ad83): Section mismatch in reference from
the function intel_lvds_init() to the variable
.init.data:intel_no_lvds
The function intel_lvds_init() references
the variable __initdata intel_no_lvds.
This is often because intel_lvds_init lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of intel_no_lvds is wrong.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x26308b): Section mismatch in reference from
the function intel_opregion_free() to the function
.exit.text:acpi_video_exit()
The function intel_opregion_free() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function acpi_video_exit() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __exit annotation of acpi_video_exit.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x75f0): Section mismatch in reference
from the variable __ksymtab_acpi_video_exit to the function
.exit.text:acpi_video_exit()
The symbol acpi_video_exit is exported and annotated __exit
Fix this by removing the __exit annotation of acpi_video_exit or drop
the export.
Thanks,
Pranith.
