All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>, old ones prefixed by <<):

>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x47a4): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_tracefs.isra.0() to the variable .init.data:initcall_level_names
The function init_tracefs.isra.0() references
the variable __initdata initcall_level_names.
This is often because init_tracefs.isra.0 lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of initcall_level_names is wrong.

Note: the below error/warnings can be found in parent commit:
