        only once. Put them in init sections. Otherwise MODPOST generates warning
        as these functions are placed in .text and they end up accessing something

      [PATCH] x86-64: - Ignore long SMI interrupts in clock calibration · ed5316d4
      Jack Steiner authored
      Ensure that no SMI interrupts occur between the read of the HPET & TSC
      in the clock calibration loop.
      
      I noticed that a 2.66GHz system incorrectly detected the processor
      clock speed about 1/7 of the time:
      
      	time.c: Detected 2660.005 MHz processor.	(most of the time)
      	time.c: Detected 2988.203 MHz processor.	(sometime)
      
      The problem is caused by an SMI interrupt occuring in hpet_calibrate_tsc()
      between the read of the HPET & TSC. Prior to switching the BIOS into
      ACPI mode, it appears that every 27msec an SMI interrupt occurs. The
      SMI interrupt takes 4.8 msec to process.
      
      Note: On my test system, TICK_MIN had to be >380. I picked 5000
      to minimize risk of having a value that is too small for other
      platforms.

      o These symbols (__init_begin, _sinittext, _einittext) belong to init
        section and generally represent a section boundary. These are special
        symbols in the sense that their size is zero and no memory is allocated
        for them in init section. Their addr and value are same. So even if
        we free the init section, it is ok to reference them.
      
      o Whitelist access to such select symbols in MODPOST.

      o MODPOST generates warning for i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
        and serial console support is enabled.
      
      o Serial console setup function, serial8250_console_setup(), is a non __init
        function and it calls functions which are of type __init().
        (uart_parse_options() and uart_set_options()). Assuming, setup will
        be called during init time, changing serial8250_console_setup() to __init.
      
      o Adding one more pattern to modpost whitelist. Console drivers might
        have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which
        can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.

      [PATCH] i386: make apic probe function non-init · e96763d6
      Vivek Goyal authored
      o struct genapic contains pointer to probe() function which is of type
        __init. Hence MODPOST generates warning if kernel is compiled with
        CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y for i386.
      
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_summit' (at offset 0xc058b504) and 'apic_bigsmp'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_bigsmp' (at offset 0xc058b5a4) and 'cpu.4471'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_es7000' (at offset 0xc058b644) and 'apic_default'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_default' (at offset 0xc058b6e4) and 'interrupt'
      
      o One of the possible options is to put special case check in MODPOST to
        not emit warnings for this case but I think it is not a very good option
        in terms of maintenance.
      
      o Another option is to make probe() function non __init. Anyway this function
        is really small so not freeing this memory after init is not a big deal.
        Secondly, from a programming perspective, probably genapic should not
        provide pointers to functions which have been freed as genapic is non
        __init and is used even after initialization is complete.

      [PATCH] i386: cpu hotplug/smpboot misc MODPOST warning fixes · 4a5d107a
      Vivek Goyal authored
      o Misc smpboot/cpu hotplug path cleanups. I did those to supress the
        warnings generated by MODPOST. These warnings are visible only
        if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
      
      o CONFIG_RELOCATABLE compiles the kernel with --emit-relocs option. This
        option retains relocation information in vmlinux file and MODPOST
        is quick to spit out "Section mismatch" warnings.
      
      o This patch fixes some of those warnings. Many of the functions in
        smpboot case are __devinit type and they in turn accesses text/data which
        if of type __cpuinit. Now if CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n
        then we end up in cases where a function in .text segment is calling
        another function in .init.text segment and MODPOST emits warning.
      
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:identify_cpu from .text between 'smp_store_cpu_info' (at offset 0xc011020d) and 'do_boot_cpu'

      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:print_cpu_info from .text between 'do_boot_cpu' (at offset 0xc01105d0) and '__cpu_up'
      
      o It also fixes the issues where CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and start_secondary()
        is calling smp_callin() which in-turn calls synchronize_tsc_ap() which is
        of type __init. This should have meant broken CPU hotplug.
