Section mismatch warnings

Hi Sam ,

I get this warnings with a randconfig ( http://194.231.229.228/git-current/randconfig-auto-36 ) :

With the same config I see this warnings as well but I think this is a different problem.

I only looked at the Section mismatch warnings.
They are fixed by following patch.

James - I assume you will take this forward?

[PATCH] i386/voyager: fix section mismatch warnings

voyager_smp_prepare_boot_cpu is marked __devinit and calls init_gdt. init_gdt is marked __cpuinit

Fix seems to make voyager_smp_prepare_boot_cpu __init since I cannot see that function being used for HOTPLUG. Maybe HOTPLUG_CPU but not HOTPLUG.

voyager_cat_init is used only by smp_boot_cpus that is marked __init. So fix is to mark voyager_cat_init as __init

Wow you are fast :)

Yes all warnings are fixed.

Hi Sam ,

me again. I got some more mismatch warnings with a randconfig ( http://194.231.229.228/git-current/randconfig-auto-14 )

They need further analysis.

ISDN stuff can wait until Karsten and Jeff has finished the ongoing transition to the new PCI API.

All the hda_preset stuff should be marked __devinit as far as I can see. Care to give that a spin yourself?

Did not look at these two yet.

When a function is marked __exit and used from an init function then the safe choice is to just remove the __exit marking. Usually this is small functions used only in error situations.
Should be trivial too.

Sorry - no patch this time. Could you try to look at it yorself then I will review.

Sam

< big snip >

Yes.

I'm not sure I can do it today but tomorrow for sure.

I'll look at those too

Ok I'll try.

This patch fixes the following section mismatch warnings in sound/pci/hda/*

The warnings gone with this patch but I'm not really sure it is correct.

Looks correct to me.
You drop the __devexit marking for functions used outside __exit.

Sam

Shall I send this one to akpm with your ACK or you take care of it ?

Please forward it to akpm.
I usually do not carry non-kbuild patches in my tree to keep 'noise' level down.

Sam

Ok done.

Thank you very much for your help on this.

I'll try to fix the remaining warnings soon.
