Subject: Section mismatch in parainstructions
Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 15:58:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061210155821.d2c5dfa5.randy.dunlap@oracle.com> (raw)


Is it OK for section .parainstructions to reference
exit.text?

I'm seeing:

WARNING: drivers/net/hamradio/scc.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .parainstructions after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/net/hamradio/scc.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .parainstructions after '' (at offset 0x8)

If that's OK, we need a small patch to modpost, as below.

Section .parainstructions should not warn about section mismatches.

WARNING: drivers/net/hamradio/scc.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .parainstructions after '' (at offset 0x0)
