[PATCH 08/19] Kbuild, lto, workaround: Don't warn for initcall_reference in modpost

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Fri Feb 14 2014 - 16:29:28 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reference is discarded, but can cause warnings when it refers to
exit. Ignore for now.

This is a workaround and can be removed once we get rid of
-fno-toplevel-reorder
