which means there is no present section in system,or other errors,

That would mean that __section_mark_present() was never called, implying
memory_present() / memblocks_present() was never called.
... but sparse_init() calles memblocks_present() itself.
So what's left would be, that there is absolutely no memory in the
system such that memblocks_present() couldn't mark anything present ...
which sound pretty much impossible, unless the arch setup code is deeply
flawed such that everything else would be broken as well.
Don't think this will ever trigger, and, therefore, this is not really
required.
