param: silence .init.text references from param ops

2011-06-03T21:52:43+00:00

Ideally, we'd check that it was only the "set" function which was __init,
and that the permissions were r/o.  But that's a little hard.

It just hit me.
It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
        return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
               (r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr);

E.g. for the first rodata r entry:
r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr
and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something
equally wise.

modpost: members of *driver structs should not point to __init functions

2010-01-29T20:56:55+00:00

Either the functions referred to in a driver struct should live in
.devinit or the driver should be registered using platform_driver_probe
(or equivalent for different driver types) with ->probe being NULL.
