Yes, we now compile this code unconditionally and rely upon the linker to
throw it away.

Allegedly, this works.  How toolchain-version-dependent it is I don't know.

 and mc_cpu_callback (which uses mc_cpu_notifier) are inside #ifdef

Re: [PATCH] microcode: Fix mc_cpu_notifier section warning

2006-12-18 Thread Tigran Aivazian

Hi Jean,

Ok, your patch is correct, although I assume you realize that it does 
nothing --- both the function and the data it operates on are inside 
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and checking include/linux/init.h I see that 
__cpuinitdata is nothing in this case. E.g. msr_class_cpu_notifier in the 
msr driver isn't declared __cpuinitdata...


But to tidy up one should add __cpuinitdata as you suggest (to guard for 
the case if these two slip out of CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, although they are 
meaningless if cpu hotplug support is not configured in).


Kind regards
Tigran
