From: Luck, Tony <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> Alex Chiang introduced acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() in commit: ACPI: processor: call _PDC early 78f1699659963fff97975df44db6d5dbe7218e55 But this results in a section mismatch: WARNING: drivers/acpi/acpi.o(.text+0xa9c1): Section mismatch in reference from the function acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() to the variable .cpuinit.data:processor_idle_dmi_table The function acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() references the variable __cpuinitdata processor_idle_dmi_table. This is often because acpi_early_processor_set_pdc lacks a __cpuinitdata annotation or the annotation of processor_idle_dmi_table is wrong. The only caller of acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() is acpi_bus_init() which is an "__init" function. So the correct fix here is to mark acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() "__init" too.
