[2.6.28-rc6-git1] compilation warnings and section mismatches

[Rufus & Azrael]

Hi all,


Here are my warnings and section mismatches when compiling 
2.6.28-rc6-git1 kernel. All are fixed in git trees but patches are not 
yet pulled in mainline.

Regards.

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x347): Section mismatch in reference from the function fpu_init() to the function .init.text:init_thread_xstate()
The function __cpuinit fpu_init() references
a function __init init_thread_xstate().
If init_thread_xstate is only used by fpu_init then
annotate init_thread_xstate with a matching annotation.

WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x10a50): Section mismatch in reference from the function notify_cpu_starting() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_chain
The function notify_cpu_starting() references
the variable __cpuinitdata cpu_chain.
This is often because notify_cpu_starting lacks a __cpuinitdata 
annotation or the annotation of cpu_chain is wrong.
