Subject: section mismatch in intel_idle
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:53:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110120005329.24119041@stein> (raw)

Hi,

this just showed up in 2.6.38-rc1:

WARNING: drivers/idle/built-in.o(.text+0x112): Section mismatch in reference from the function intel_idle_probe() to the variable .cpuinit.data:setup_broadcast_notifier
The function intel_idle_probe() references
the variable __cpuinitdata setup_broadcast_notifier.
This is often because intel_idle_probe lacks a __cpuinitdata 
annotation or the annotation of setup_broadcast_notifier is wrong.

WARNING: drivers/idle/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x2d): Section mismatch in reference from the function intel_idle_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:setup_broadcast_notifier
The function __exit intel_idle_exit() references
a variable __cpuinitdata setup_broadcast_notifier.
This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
uses functionality in the init path.
The fix is often to remove the __cpuinitdata annotation of
setup_broadcast_notifier so it may be used outside an init section.
