Clang gets rather confused about two variables in the same special section when one of them is not initialized, leading to an assembler warning later: /tmp/slab_common-18f869.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/slab_common-18f869.s:7526: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data..ro_after_init Adding an initialization to kmalloc_caches is rather silly here but does avoid the issue.
