From f8657e1b55901e6c227094258d1fa3642fa242bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 13:26:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i386: move startup_32() in text.head section o Entry startup_32 was in .text section but it was accessing some init data too and it prompts MODPOST to generate compilation warnings. WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:boot_params from .text between '_text' (at offset 0xc0100029) and 'startup_32_smp' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:boot_params from .text between '_text' (at offset 0xc0100037) and 'startup_32_smp' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:init_pg_tables_end from .text between '_text' (at offset 0xc0100099) and 'startup_32_smp' o Can't move startup_32 to .init.text as this entry point has to be at the start of bzImage. Hence moved startup_32 to a new section .text.head and instructed MODPOST to not to generate warnings if init data is being accessed from .text.head section. This code has been audited. o SMP boot up code (startup_32_smp) can go into .init.text if CPU hotplug is not supported. Otherwise it generates more warnings WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:new_cpu_data from .text between 'checkCPUtype' (at offset 0xc0100126) and 'is486' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:new_cpu_data from .text between 'checkCPUtype' (at offset 0xc0100130) and 'is486' Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen --- scripts/mod/modpost.c | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'scripts/mod') diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c index 2aa47623f5f..569e68410d7 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.c +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.c @@ -641,12 +641,20 @@ static int secref_whitelist(const char *modname, const char *tosec, if (f1 && f2) return 1; - /* Whitelist all references from .pci_fixup section if vmlinux */ + /* Whitelist all references from .pci_fixup section if vmlinux + * Whitelist all refereces from .text.head to .init.data if vmlinux + * Whitelist all refereces from .text.head to .init.text if vmlinux + */ if (is_vmlinux(modname)) { if ((strcmp(fromsec, ".pci_fixup") == 0) && (strcmp(tosec, ".init.text") == 0)) return 1; + if ((strcmp(fromsec, ".text.head") == 0) && + ((strcmp(tosec, ".init.data") == 0) || + (strcmp(tosec, ".init.text") == 0))) + return 1; + /* Check for pattern 3 */ for (s = pat3refsym; *s; s++) if (strcmp(refsymname, *s) == 0) -- cgit v1.2.3
