Subject: [Suggestion] parisc: kernel: about section mismatch warning.
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:27:25 +0800	[thread overview]

Hello Maintainers:

When building parisc with allmodconfig by 'hppa64-linux-gnu-', I find section mismatch warnings.

I am not quite sure whether they will cause real issue or not, please
help check, thanks.

  LD      arch/parisc/kernel/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/parisc/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x118): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .L24 to the function .init.text:do_device_inventory()
The variable .L24 references
the function __init do_device_inventory()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

WARNING: arch/parisc/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x120): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .L26 to the function .init.text:parisc_pdc_chassis_init()
The variable .L26 references
the function __init parisc_pdc_chassis_init()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console


At least, I am sure it is not the source code issue, is it the cross-
compiler's issue (need change suitable compiler), or just skip them ?

Welcome any suggestions or completions.


Thanks.
