Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:17:43 +0100 From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org> To: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@...source.com>, Chris Wright <chrisw@...s-sol.org> Cc: Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@....de>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, rusty@...tcorp.com.au, WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH] xen: fix section usage in xen-head.S Failing to specify "ax" in the pushsection caused ld to generate an additional section for .init.text appending a number. A side effect of this was a section mismatch warning because modpost did not recognize a .init.text section named .init.text.1: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.head+0x247): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:start_kernel (between 'is386' and 'check_x87') Fix this by hardcoding the "ax" in the pushsection. Thanks to Torlaf for reporting this. Alan Modra @ binutils provided the hint that made me able to locate the root cause of this warning.
