PATCH 1/1 clocksource/drivers/stm: Fix section mismatches
Platform drivers can be probed after their init sections have been discarded (e.g. on probe deferral or manual rebind through sysfs) so the probe function must not live in init. Device managed resource actions similarly cannot be discarded.
The "_probe" suffix of the driver structure name prevents modpost from warning about this so replace it to catch any similar future issues.

Addressing this apparently depends on commit 84b1a903aed8 ("time/sched_clock: Export symbol for sched_clock register function") which was merged for 6.18-rc1.
So the stable tag should be dropped (e.g. unless it's possible to backport also the dependency to 6.17).

Quite easy to do so, just ask us! :)

Heh. I meant that there may be something preventing the dependency from being backported (even if I didn't see anything obvious based on a quick look at the series adding it).

Hi Johan,
thanks for your fix.
You should replace __init by __init_or_module

Hi Daniel,
Quoted 1 line · Daniel Lezcano
You should replace
__initby__init_or_module
That's not sufficient as the driver can still be rebound through sysfs currently (the driver would probably crash anyway, but that's a separate issue).
Also note that no drivers use __init_or_module these days, likely as everyone uses modules and it's not worth the added complexity in trying to get the section markers right for a build configuration that few people care about.
I can send a follow-on patch to suppress the unbind attribute, or include it in a v2 if you insist on using __init_or_module.
What do you prefer?

I think it makes sens to use __init_or_module because these drivers have been always compiled in and we are converting them into modules.

__init_or_modulebecause these drivers have been always compiled in and we are converting them into modules.
That's not really relevant. __init_or_module will only save a tiny bit of memory in builds where modules are completely disabled (i.e. !CONFIG_MODULES) which is hardly used any more.
Note that it has nothing to do with whether this particular driver is built as a module or not.
And since no other drivers cares about this uncommon case, are you sure you want to do this here?
Note that this would also require suppressing section mismatch warnings for the common case (CONFIG_MODULES).
