If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag as appropriate
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>, old ones prefixed by <<):

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x156c): Section mismatch in reference from the function bitmap_equal() to the variable .init.data:initcall_level_names
The function bitmap_equal() references
the variable __initdata initcall_level_names.
This is often because bitmap_equal lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of initcall_level_names is wrong.

The below error/warnings are from parent commit:
<< WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.data+0x1a86d8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable qed_mfw_legacy_maps to the variable .init.rodata:__setup_str_initcall_blacklist

Barry, can I get a fix for this?

Max already pointed out, but I guess you were not in Cc list, that
it's a GCC bug in his opinion, but GCC people don't ack it.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=92938

I really don't understand what is going on here. My understanding is
this report has nothing to do with the
new commit and it doesn't report any valid place where kernel code is wrong.

Hi Barry,

Sorry for the misunderstanding, the warning only changed a little by this commit, see:

>>>> The below error/warnings are from parent commit:
>>>> << WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.data+0x1a86d8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable qed_mfw_legacy_maps to the variable .init.rodata:__setup_str_initcall_blacklist >>>> << WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.data+0x1a87c8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable qed_mfw_ext_maps to the variable .init.rodata:__setup_str_initcall_blacklist >>>> << WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.data+0x1a8948): Section mismatch in reference from the variable qede_forced_speed_maps to the variable .init.rodata:__setup_str_initcall_blacklist

we'll update the message to give a heavy hint.

Best Regards,

with xtensa gcc 11.1 which is the one i can easily download from here
after google:
http://kernel.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/tools/crosstool/

i could somehow reproduce this kind of very odd section mismatch
report from bitmap:
$ ./build-xenta.sh
   ...
   MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x4d64): Section mismatch
in reference from the function bitmap_equal() to the variable
.init.rodata:__setup_str_initcall_blacklist
The function bitmap_equal() references
the variable __initconst __setup_str_initcall_blacklist.
This is often because bitmap_equal lacks a __initconst
annotation or the annotation of __setup_str_initcall_blacklist is wrong.

...

But after reverting my commit, it is *still* there:

$ git revert 2069b8b9ce8b758e015ce49225b1fedac4accd9c
