In 2.6.17-rc5, the GNU linker gives me this message:
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:
from .text between 'acpi_processor_power_init' (at offset 0xec7) and
'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed'
It is basically pointing out a potential bug on from processor_idle.c,
on this line of code:
dmi_check_system(processor_power_dmi_table);
The problem here, is that processor_power_dmi_table is declared as
__cpuinitdata,
and is not guaranteed to exist when invoked from code other than __init code.
The acpi_processor_power_init() routine is NOT marked as __init code.
Cheers
