Output of make buildcheck
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone knew what the output of make buildcheck actually means, or where documentation is that describes the output. Here's an example:
Error: ./mm/slab.o .data refers to 00000158 R_386_32 .init.text
Thanks for your help!

Consider using make help (or read the Makefile):
Static analysers
buildcheck - List dangling references to vmlinux discarded sections
and init sections from non-init sections

Why have we been having this rash of cross-postings to KJ and KN? They are very different lists with different purposes. If you have a janitorial patch or question, it goes to KJ; if you have a general kernel question, it goes to KN.
Thanks,
Nish

The problem is that means nothing to me, what do the numbers mean? Whats a sample bug and fix? I try to google and read available documentation before posting a question, so telling me to read documentation doesn't help much.

This *is* in fact a question that applies to both KJ and KN, as this is a newbie question (I'm just starting) and make buildcheck is something suggested by KJ to list errors that need fixing.

bkbit [1] for "buildcheck". It will give you some examples but not much.
