s3c2440_clk_add is a subsys_interface method and calls clkdev_add_table, which is marked as __init. The modpost script complains about this because we must not call an __init function from a function in the .text section, and we cannot reference an __init function from a subsys_interface pointer.
I have verified that the only code path into s3c2440_clk_add() is from "int __init s3c2440_init(void)", so s3c2440_clk_add can be marked __init_refok instead. Without this patch, building mini2440_defconfig results in: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x9848): Section mismatch in reference from the function s3c2440_clk_add() to the function .init.text:clkdev_add_table() The function s3c2440_clk_add() references the function __init clkdev_add_table(). This is often because s3c2440_clk_add lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of clkdev_add_table is wrong.

This replaces the earlier "clk: don't mark clkdev_add_table as init" as suggested by Russell. diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/clock-s3c2440.c b/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/clock-s3c2440.c index 749220f..4407b17 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/clock-s3c2440.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/clock-s3c2440.c @@ -163,7 +163,7 @@ static struct clk_lookup s3c2440_clk_lookup[] = { CLKDEV_INIT(NULL, "clk_uart_baud3", &s3c2440_clk_fclk_n), }; -static int s3c2440_clk_add(struct device *dev, struct subsys_interface *sif) +static int __init_refok s3c2440_clk_add(struct device *dev, struct subsys_interface *sif) { struct clk *clock_upll; struct clk *clock_h; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
