Subject: [PATCH V3 2/5] efi: Introduce __efi_init attribute
Date: Tue,  4 Sep 2018 15:12:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1536099149-12564-3-git-send-email-sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1536099149-12564-1-git-send-email-sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>

From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>

Buggy firmware could illegally access some efi regions even after the
kernel has assumed control of the platform. When
"CONFIG_EFI_WARN_ON_ILLEGAL_ACCESS" is enabled, the efi page fault
handler will detect and recover from these illegal accesses.
efi_md_typeattr_format() and memory_type_name are used by the efi page
fault handler to print information about memory descriptor that was
illegally accessed. As the page fault handler is present during/after
kernel boot it doesn't have an __init attribute, but
efi_md_typeattr_format() has it and thus during kernel build, "WARNING:
modpost: Found * section mismatch(es)" build warning is observed. To fix
it, remove __init attribute for efi_md_typeattr_format().

In order to not keep efi_md_typeattr_format() and memory_type_name
needlessly when "CONFIG_EFI_WARN_ON_ILLEGAL_ACCESS" is not selected, add
a new __efi_init attribute whose value changes based on whether the
config option is selected or not.
