I agree. Example bogus warning: WARNING: arch/arm/mach-iop32x/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'iq80321_timer' (at offset 0x428) and 'iq80321_serial_device' c04088fc d iq80321_timer c0408950 d iq80321_serial_device It's completely unclear what is referencing what, what the two named symbols mean, and even what "at offset" relates to. What I can say is that iq80321_timer doesn't reference iq80321_serial_device nor vice versa, and iq80321_timer is far smaller than 0x428 bytes. > > diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c > index 113dc77..bd6fe7b 100644 > --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.c > +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.c > @@ -872,6 +872,10 @@ static void warn_sec_mismatch(const char *modname, const > char *fromsec, > sechdrs[hdr->e_shstrndx].sh_offset; > const char *secname = secstrings + sechdrs[sym->st_shndx].sh_name; > > + /* FIXME: this function doesn't work correctly anymore, it's > + * not clear if it should be fixed or removed. */ > + return; > + > find_symbols_between(elf, r.r_offset, fromsec, &before, &after); > > refsym = find_elf_symbol(elf, r.r_addend, sym); -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - 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/
