Thanks reply.
Update comment.
And same problem in modpost.
Warning message dirty.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x304b): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .LM10 to the variable .init.text:_free_area_init
The function .LM10() references
the variable __init _free_area_init.
This is often because .LM10 lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of _free_area_init is wrong.
fix it.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x304b): Section mismatch in reference from the variable _paging_init to the variable .init.text:___alloc_bootmem
The function _paging_init() references
the variable __init ___alloc_bootmem.
This is often because _paging_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of ___alloc_bootmem is wrong.
