I tracked down a bunch of these a little while back. It's not really iret_exc, but since there is no _sfixup/_efixup markers iret_exc is the closest symbol to pick on. All the [iret_exc, _etext] warnings I found were completely harmless from things that used, for example, mfn_to_pfn in an __init function (which sucks in a fixup via __get_user). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
