From: Jackie Liu <liuyun01@xxxxxxxxxx> Fix modpost Section mismatch error in memblock_phys_alloc() [...] WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1dcc): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_phys_alloc() to the function .init.text:memblock_phys_alloc_range() The function memblock_phys_alloc() references the function __init memblock_phys_alloc_range(). This is often because memblock_phys_alloc lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of memblock_phys_alloc_range is wrong. ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected. Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them. [...] I have checked that the memblock_phys_alloc used in the source tree is all in the __init section, we should make it as always inline.
