Subject: [PATCH] kernel/profile.c: Fix section mismatch warning.
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:15:24 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b9df5fa10811172015w3dfb955bq115180d9d0808d82@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Impact: Fix section mismatch warning in kernel/profile.c
Here, profile_nop function has been called from a non-init function
create_hash_tables(void). Which generetes a section mismatch warning.
Previously, create_hash_tables(void) was a init function. So, removing
__init from create_hash_tables(void) requires profile_nop to be
non-init. This patch makes profile_nop function inline and fixes the
following warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6ebb6): Section mismatch in reference from
the function create_hash_tables() to the function
.init.text:profile_nop()
The function create_hash_tables() references
the function __init profile_nop().
This is often because create_hash_tables lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of profile_nop is wrong.
