From 0e0d314e6a01bb14d303e35e6f7ba24b17020044 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Thu, 17 May 2007 20:14:48 +0200 Subject: kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention. To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce a marker so relevant function/data can be marked. When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from a function/data marked no warning will be issued.
