__ex_table ends up with two entries: Contents of section __ex_table: 0000 0c000000 00000000 0e000000 00000000 ................ 0010 10000000 0a000000 12000000 0a000000 ................The first is for the __put_user in .text (extable_not_init()) and the second is for the one in .init.text (init()).Depending on how the module gets allocated, the one referring to .init.text may be first or last.
Hmm, I understand now. The problem is that we don't know which entries are for __init, and which are not...
(You can see here why we haven't fixed this: exceptions in __init in modules are rare, perhaps non-existent).
Agreed. Is it possible to put extable for __init in a separate section? Thanks for your explanation! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
