When applying the 20071107 patch on the 20070130 dist the following warning appears when buildning for the 5208EVB. CC net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.o CC net/ipv4/xfrm4_output.o LD net/ipv4/built-in.o LD net/built-in.o LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xa8): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between '_clear_bss' and '_exit') GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD vmlinux How seriously should this be considered?
It is not a problem in this case. It is indicating that the start_kernel function (which is in the discardable .init.text section) is being called from the normal .text section. In this specific case it is not a problem since the code calling it is the actual kernel start up assembler code - .init.text will definately be present (not freed yet). It is in the .text section so I can keep it at the start address of the kernel code (not somewhere in the middle of the kernel image).
