Subject: [PATCH 4.9 26/29] xen: unexport __init-annotated xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages()
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:46:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220630133231.972554082@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220630133231.200642128@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

commit dbac14a5a05ff8e1ce7c0da0e1f520ce39ec62ea upstream.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.

Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.

There are two ways to fix it:

  - Remove __init
  - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL

I chose the latter for this case because none of the in-tree call-sites
(arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c, arch/x86/xen/grant-table.c) is compiled as
modular.
