Subject: [PATCH] common/initcall: Extern linker symbols with correct types.
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 18:03:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382029433-28919-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

Coverity IDs 1054956, 1054957

Coverity pointed out that we applying array operations based on an expression
which yielded singleton pointers.  The problem is actually that the externs
were typed incorrectly.

Correct the extern declaration to prevent straying into undefined behaviour,
and relying on the lenience of GCC to work.
