In kernel/cpu.c, there exists API that is declared as __cpuinit, and at the same time exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL().
Can these two attribute coexists at the same time? I mean, when it is declared with EXPORT_SYMBOL, according to include/linux/module.h, it is placed in a __ksymtab section, and when compiled with with __cpuinit, according to include/linux/init.h, into a __cpuinit section. Can gcc compiled ELF support this feature? Anyway, logical speaking, if it is EXPORT_SYMBOL, it is meant to be long-lasting, and not short-live as __cpuinit is meant to be, right? Please comment, thanks. If ok, I will modify the cpu.c to remove all the __cpuinit whenever EXPORT_SYMBOL is encountered for it (or any __init in general :-)). -- 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/
