6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>
commit 0a6b58c5cd0dfd7961e725212f0fc8dfc5d96195 upstream.
On the parisc architecture, lockdep reports for all static objects which
are in the __initdata section (e.g. "setup_done" in devtmpfs,
"kthreadd_done" in init/main.c) this warning:
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The warning itself is wrong, because those objects are in the __initdata
section, but the section itself is on parisc outside of range from
_stext to _end, which is why the static_obj() functions returns a wrong
answer.
While fixing this issue, I noticed that the whole existing check can
be simplified a lot.
Instead of checking against the _stext and _end symbols (which include
code areas too) just check for the .data and .bss segments (since we check a
data object). This can be done with the existing is_kernel_core_data()
macro.
In addition objects in the __initdata section can be checked with
init_section_contains(), and is_kernel_rodata() allows keys to be in the
_ro_after_init section.
This partly reverts and simplifies commit bac59d18c701 ("x86/setup: Fix static
memory detection").
