This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/prom: Mark identical_pvr_fixup as __init to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-prom-mark-identical_pvr_fixup-as-__init.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b94f7d8224a3909029689d15d45747153ea0e8c9 Author: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 2 13:08:29 2021 -0700 powerpc/prom: Mark identical_pvr_fixup as __init [ Upstream commit 1ef1dd9c7ed27b080445e1576e8a05957e0e4dfc ] If identical_pvr_fixup() is not inlined, there are two modpost warnings: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x54e8): Section mismatch in reference from the function identical_pvr_fixup() to the function .init.text:of_get_flat_dt_prop() The function identical_pvr_fixup() references the function __init of_get_flat_dt_prop(). This is often because identical_pvr_fixup lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of of_get_flat_dt_prop is wrong. WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x551c): Section mismatch in reference from the function identical_pvr_fixup() to the function .init.text:identify_cpu() The function identical_pvr_fixup() references the function __init identify_cpu(). This is often because identical_pvr_fixup lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of identify_cpu is wrong. identical_pvr_fixup() calls two functions marked as __init and is only called by a function marked as __init so it should be marked as __init as well. At the same time, remove the inline keywork as it is not necessary to inline this function. The compiler is still free to do so if it feels it is worthwhile since commit 889b3c1245de ("compiler: remove CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING entirely").
