Subject: [RFC/PATCH] Fixup WARNINGs related to COMMON symbol
Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 14:03:26 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0705101359370.23551@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
We now get the following warnings:
WARNING: "ee_restarts" [arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "fee_restarts" [arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "htab_hash_searches" [arch/powerpc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "next_slot" [arch/powerpc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "mmu_hash_lock" [arch/powerpc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "primary_pteg_full" [arch/powerpc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
because these symbols are defined as .comm. It is not clear if there is
any reason for these sybmols to be .comm. Only mmu_hash_lock is global
and needed outside of the file scope its defined in.
If this patch looks good, I'll spin a version for arch/ppc and repost.
