[PATCH] x86,kvm: Fix section mismatches in kvm.c

From: Rakib Mullick
Date: Thu Jul 02 2009 - 01:43:19 EST


Impact: Fix section mismatch.

The function paravirt_ops_setup() has been refering the variable
no_timer_check, which is a __initdata. Thus generates the following
warning. paravirt_ops_setup() function is called from kvm_guest_init()
which is a __init function. So to fix this we mark paravirt_ops_setup
as __init.

Thanks,

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x166ce): Section mismatch in
reference from the function paravirt_ops_setup() to the variable
.init.data:no_timer_check
The function paravirt_ops_setup() references
the variable __initdata no_timer_check.
This is often because paravirt_ops_setup lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of no_timer_check is wrong.
