Question: Section mismatch warnings in drivers/net
|
|
Hello all,
I noticed a number of section mismatch warnings in various
drivers/net/ drivers. I was going to submit some patches to
clean them up but then saw these commits:
commit 948252cb9e01d65a89ecadf67be5018351eee15e
Author: David S. Miller <davem [at] davemloft>
Date: Tue May 31 19:27:48 2011 -0700
Revert "net: fix section mismatches"
This reverts commit e5cb966c0838e4da43a3b0751bdcac7fe719f7b4.
It causes new build regressions with gcc-4.2 which is
pretty common on non-x86 platforms.

net: fix section mismatches
Fix build warnings like the following:
WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.data+0x12434): Section mismatch in reference from the variable madge
And add some consts to EISA device ID tables along the way.

Was the issue with the build regressions ever worked out? Would
patches to fix the section mismatches be appropriate now?
Regards,
Hartley
