Functions inside kernel modules that use __ref will end up being placed in .ARM.exidx.ref.text section by gcc.Currently we don't consider adding these functions to arm unwind tables. Hence, if we turn slub debug on by default we end up with the messages of this sort: unwind: Index not found bf0011e0 This is because slub debug saves stack trace of allocation's and free's. Therefore, we end up seeing a flood of these messages in dmesg since its not able to locate these functions. Fix this by adding .ref.text section to arm unwind tables.
