The patch titled console: fix section mismatch warning in vgacon.c has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was console-fix-section-mismatch-warning-in-vgaconc.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: console: fix section mismatch warning in vgacon.c From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Fix following section mismatch warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x121e62): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'vgacon_startup' and 'vgacon_scrolldelta') Browsing the code it seems that vgacon_scrollback_startup() is only called during the init phase so the reference to the .init.text section is OK. Teach modpost not to warn using ___init_refok. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: "Antonino A.
