    [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit · b282b6f8

    Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
    with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings
    
    WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
    .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'

    WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

    This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
    defined as __devinit
    AND
    __cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.
    
    Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
    we get a .text refering .init.data warning.
    
    This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
    and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
    the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
    are of __init type.
    
    Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
    in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
    land up in .init section.
    
    Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.
