Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix section mismatch warnings when referencing notifiers
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:10:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1201817440-5081-11-git-send-email-sam@ravnborg.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080131220430.GA4874@uranus.ravnborg.org>

Fix the following warnings:
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0xf8): Section mismatch in reference from the function msr_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:msr_class_cpu_notifier
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x158): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpuid_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpuid_class_cpu_notifier
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x171): Section mismatch in reference from the function microcode_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:mc_cpu_notifier

In all three cases there were a function annotated __exit
that referenced a variable annotated __cpuinitdata.

The fix was to replace the annotation of the notifier
with __refdata to tell modpost that the reference to
a _cpuinit function in the notifier are OK.
The unregister call that references the notifier
variable will simple delete the function pointer
so there is no problem ignoring the reference.

Note: This looks like another case where __cpuinit
has been used as replacement for proper use
of CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to decide what code are used for
HOTPLUG_CPU.
