[PATCH] x86: Call __va() to get trampoline_base.

[PATCH] x86: Call __va() to get trampoline_base.

[Rakib Mullick]

 x86, tboot: Call __va() to get trampoline_base.

 Do not pass trampoline_base as parameter of virt_to_phys.
Because trampoline_base is in .cpuinit.data section, but its
called from non-cpuinit function. So use __va(TRAMPOLINE_BASE)
instead of trampoline_base, which helps to fix section mismatch.

We were warned by the following warning:

  LD      arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x13c5f): Section mismatch
in reference from the function tboot_setup_sleep() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:trampoline_base
The function tboot_setup_sleep() references
the variable __cpuinitdata trampoline_base.
This is often because tboot_setup_sleep lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of trampoline_base is wrong.

This is a bug, but this isn't the right fix.

trampoline.c has:

#if defined(CONFIG_X86_64) && defined(CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP)
#define __trampinit
#define __trampinitdata
#else
#define __trampinit __cpuinit
#define __trampinitdata __cpuinitdata
#endif

... because on i386 we don't use the trampoline for ACPI return.

This means one of these is true:

- Either we need the AP trampoline for tboot on i386, and the above
definition in trampoline.c needs to be fixed; or
- The CONFIG_X86_TRAMPOLINE in tboot.c is too generous, and in fact it
needs to be set to defined(CONFIG_X86_64) && defined(CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP)
just like the above code.

Sending to Joseph and Shane to figure out...
