[PATCH v2] KVM: SVM: hyper-v: placate modpost section mismatch error

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Wed Feb 22 2023 - 11:25:21 EST


modpost reports section mismatch errors/warnings:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)

Marking svm_hv_hardware_setup() as __init fixes the warnings.

I don't know why this should be needed -- it seems like a compiler
problem to me since the calling function is marked as __init.

This "(unknown) (section: .init.data)" all refer to svm_x86_ops.

Fixes: 1e0c7d40758b ("KVM: SVM: hyper-v: Remote TLB flush for SVM")

v2: also make the empty stub function be __init (Vitaly)
