From ad0b142772eb1f88f0e77cb63c38b0005e83c2bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:38:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: whitelist references from __dbe_table to .init This is needed on MIPS where the same mechanism as get_user() is used to intercept bus error exceptions for some hardware probes. Without this patch modpost will throw spurious warnings: LD vmlinux SYSMAP System.map SYSMAP .tmp_System.map MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: arch/mips/sgi-ip22/built-in.o(__dbe_table+0x0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> --- scripts/mod/modpost.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c index ee58ded021d77..6c145d6e89dec 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.c +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.c @@ -1121,6 +1121,7 @@ static int initexit_section_ref_ok(const char *name) ".machvec", /* ia64 + powerpc uses these */ ".machine.desc", ".opd", /* See comment [OPD] */ + "__dbe_table", ".parainstructions", ".pdr", ".plt", /* seen on ARCH=um build on x86_64.
