section mismatch warnings in current git head for powerpc
I got the following warnings when building current git head for powerpc 64bit: LD net/ipv4/built-in.o LD drivers/scsi/built-in.o LD net/built-in.o LD drivers/built-in.o LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x73bc): Section mismatch in reference from the function .start_secondary_prolog() to the function .devinit.text:.start_secondary() The function .start_secondary_prolog() references the function __devinit .start_secondary(). This is often because .start_secondary_prolog lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of .start_secondary is wrong. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x260a8): Section mismatch in reference from the function .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() to the function .devinit.text:.update_dn_pci_info() The function .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() references the function __devinit .update_dn_pci_info(). This is often because .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of .update_dn_pci_info is wrong. Is this anything to worry about?

Similar warnings appear when building the kernel for x86_64. See also http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/13/98, http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/17/202 and http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9974.

This is often because .start_secondary_prolog lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of .start_secondary is wrong. start_secondary_prolog() is in asm, so I don't know what you're supposed to do with that.

This is often because .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of .update_dn_pci_info is wrong. I think pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() could be __devinit, but it's not clear because the code that calls it is not __devinit or conditional on HOTPLUG, eventhough in practice I think it is only used for hotplug. cheers -- Michael Ellerman OzLabs, IBM Australia Development Lab wwweb: http://michael.ellerman.id.au phone: +61 2 6212 1183 (tie line 70 21183) We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. - S.M.A.R.T Person signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
