This is often because param_get_mode lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of apparmor_initialized is wrong. I believe this is because the __initdata annotation was removed from security/apparmor/lsm.c but not from security/apparmor/include/lib.h The following patch cleans the compilation warnings, but may not be the correct fix: --- security/apparmor/include/lib.h.orig 2017-11-02 14:43:59.903230945 +0000 +++ security/apparmor/include/lib.h 2017-11-02 14:44:57.992635353 +0000 @@ -56,7 +56,7 @@ } while (0) /* Flag indicating whether initialization completed */ -extern int apparmor_initialized __initdata; +extern int apparmor_initialized; /* fn's in lib */ char *aa_split_fqname(char *args, char **ns_name); To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1729634/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
