Hi Everyone,
When we enable kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and compile DPDK 1.7 with 3.14.17 kernel + gcc 4.8.2, we got lots of warnings like these.
Do we have plan to fix them? If so, please advise on which version. Thanks.

Regardless, if my understanding of section mismatches is correct, they should be no warnings when referencing to functions in .text section, as it is not a discardable section.

These errors come from referencing symbols between incompatible sections (e.g. A static function reading a variable that is in an __initdata section). But theres nothing like that going on in any of these symbols referenced below (and the kernel version shouldn't matter, as this is all dpdk internal). It could be old objects in your build from a DPDK version where the symbols were in different sections. Do a make clean; git clean -f -d Then reconfigure and rebuild. I expect your issue will go away.

The mismatch warning did not show up with normal kernel but in the kernel with PAX grsecurity patches as PaX team enhanced writeable function pointer detection in patches out in this link. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grsecurity/Configuring_and_Installing_grsecuri ty#Compilation_Differences --- the extra section mismatches are due to my Pax changes, i explicitly added detection for writeable function pointers which are potential exploit targets, just to know how many of them there are. we've been eliminating some of them already but this work will never finish. as for what they are in general, a mismatch means an unwanted reference from one section to another. say, accessing init code or data from normal code/data is not good since init sections are freed up on boot, so any reference to them must not exist from permanent sections. --- To reproduce, you just need to patch any supported kernel with grsecurity patches then compile dpdk with it. https://grsecurity.net/download.php Thanks, Michael On 10/7/14 9:46 AM, "Neil Horman" <nhorman-2XuSBdqkA4R54TAoqtyWWQ@public.gmane.org> wrote: >On Mon, Oct 06, 2014 at 06:42:04PM +0000, Michael Hu (NSBU) wrote: >> Hi Everyone, >> >> When we enable kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and >>compile DPDK 1.7 with 3.14.17 kernel + gcc 4.8.2, we got lots of >>warnings like these. >> Do we have plan to fix them?
