the smp_release_cpus is a normal funciton and called in normal environments, but it calls the __initdata spinning_secondaries. need modify spinning_secondaries to match smp_release_cpus.
the related warning: (the linker report boot_paca.33377, but it should be spinning_secondaries) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x23176): Section mismatch in reference from the function .smp_release_cpus() to the variable .init.data:boot_paca.33377 The function .smp_release_cpus() references the variable __initdata boot_paca.33377. This is often because .smp_release_cpus lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of boot_paca.33377 is wrong.
