x86: Fix false positive section mismatch warnings in the apic code

find_unisys_acpi_oem_table() and unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table() are non
init functions, but these functions calls some init functions. But we
need these functions as non-init functions.

So annotate them via __ref.

The following false positive warnings are fixed via this:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x16250): Section mismatch in reference from
  the function find_unisys_acpi_oem_table() to the function
  .init.text:early_acpi_os_unmap_memory()
  The function find_unisys_acpi_oem_table() references
  the function __init early_acpi_os_unmap_memory().
  This is often because find_unisys_acpi_oem_table lacks a __init
  annotation or the annotation of early_acpi_os_unmap_memory is wrong.

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x16269): Section mismatch in reference from

  The function find_unisys_acpi_oem_table() references
  the function __init early_acpi_os_unmap_memory().
  This is often because find_unisys_acpi_oem_table lacks a __init

  the function __init __acpi_map_table().
  This is often because find_unisys_acpi_oem_table lacks a __init

Why? This warning seems to be valid.

It's put into struct apic::acpi_madt_oem_check - which is a non-init 
structure. That particular field is only used from init context - 
but other fields are used all the time.

Sam, what's the preferred way to handle these? We could mark the 
function pointer prototype there as __initdata, but i suspect we'll 
still get the warning in that case.

Can we have a rule that "every __ref usage should have a comment explaining
why __ref is safe in this place"?

If I understand it correct we have the following:

(data) struct apic apic_es7000.acpi_madt_oem_check =>
(function) es7000_acpi_madt_oem_check =>
(function) find_unisys_acpi_oem_table
(__init) early_acpi_os_unmap_memory

So the real fix is to:
1) annotate find_unisys_acpi_oem_table __init
2) annotate es7000_acpi_madt_oem_check __init
3) teach modpost that struct apic apic_es7000 may reference __init

Step 3 is done using __refdata

Based on the above analysis I would assume the best fix
would look like this the following.
[I only looked at the first warning]

Rabik/Marcin - if you agree in the analysis could you produce
a proper patch and send to Ingo - thanks.

You can add my:
Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
if the patch is ok.

Hi Sam, after applying your suggested three steps, we still have the
following warning:

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x36174): Section mismatch
in reference from the function unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table() to the
function .init.text:__acpi_unmap_table()
The function unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table() references
the function __init __acpi_unmap_table().
This is often because unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of __acpi_unmap_table is wrong.

So, I think we've to annote unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table with __init (
If we apply Sam's suggested steps). If anything else please notice.

Rakib.

Hi guys - I lost track of this so here come a late reply.

What we have is apic_es7000.acpi_madt_oem_check that references es7000_acpi_madt_oem_check

And es7000_acpi_madt_oem_check =>
	unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table =>
		__acpi_unmap_table

So we may only annotate unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table if
we know that apic_es7000.acpi_madt_oem_check is only used from __init.

Looking at probe_32.c this seems to be true - but I did not look too closely
on this.

If you can make sure apic_es7000.acpi_madt_oem_check is only used from __init
then the right fix is to annotate the relevant functions with __init.
That is es7000_acpi_madt_oem_check() and unmap_unisys_acpi_oem_table().
