I wondered why this one showed up on alpha but nowhere else.
We already whitelist (do not warn about) references to .init.text from
variables named *_console IFF the variable is placed in section .data
But from the above we can see that serial8250_console is placed in .data.rel
Now I wonder why the alpha toolchain suddenly uses a .data.rel section.
The exact commandline to build the .c file is:
alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/serial/.8250.o.d -nostdinc
-isystem
/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include
-D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Iinclude2 -I/home/sam/kernel/kbuild.git/include
-include include/linux/autoconf.h -I/home/sam/kernel/kbuild.git/drivers/serial
-Idrivers/serial -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -O2 -pipe -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8 -msmall-data
-mcpu=ev6 -Wa,-mev6 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s"
-D"KBUILD_BASENAME=KBUILD_STR(8250)" -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(8250)" -c -o
drivers/serial/8250.o /home/sam/kernel/kbuild.git/drivers/serial/8250.c
No use of -PIC or somethign like that.
Then I tried to reproduce it here - no luck.
I do not see the warning from serial/8250.o here?
I thought that I had all warnings reproduced but in the noise I must have
missed that I did not reproduce the 8250.o warning.
I will consider my patch for 8250.c bad and will drop it.
The others I will forward to akpm.
Anyone that can explain why alpha uses .data.rel in the above case -
but not with my toolchain?
