The addition of tracepoints to the page reference tracking had an unfortunate side-effect in at least one driver that calls put_page from its exit function, resulting in a link error: `.exit.text' referenced in section `__jump_table' of crypto/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of crypto/built-in.o I could not come up with a nice solution that ignores __jump_table entries in discarded code, so we probably now have to treat this as something a driver is not allowed to do. Removing the __exit annotation avoids the problem in this particular driver, but the same problem could come back any time in other code. On a related problem regarding the runtime patching for SMP operations on ARM uniprocessor systems, we resorted to not drop the .exit section at link time, but that doesn't seem appropriate here.
