Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix false positive section mismatch in es7000_32.c
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:04:12 +0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b9df5fa10907120404k6279a10ch5e9682432272706f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

 Impact: Fix false positive warning

The variable apic_es7000_cluster references the function __cpuinit
wakeup_secondary_cpu_via_mip() from a noninit section. So we've been
warned by the following warning. To avoid possible collision between
init/noninit, its best to mark the variable as __refdata.

 We were warned by the followin warning:

 LD      arch/x86/kernel/apic/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/apic/built-in.o(.data+0x198c): Section
mismatch in reference from the variable apic_es7000_cluster to the
function .cpuinit.text:wakeup_secondary_cpu_via_mip()
The variable apic_es7000_cluster references
the function __cpuinit wakeup_secondary_cpu_via_mip()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
