|
Rebuilding the kernel (2.6.25-gentoo-r8) I find this message:
| Code: | $ sudo make
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CHK include/linux/compile.h
GZIP kernel/config_data.gz
IKCFG kernel/config_data.h
CC kernel/configs.o
LD kernel/built-in.o
LD vmlinux.o
MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: modpost: Found 27 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
.... |
Following the instructions I get this:
| Code: | ...
CC arch/x86/kernel/early_printk.o
LD arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xbbaf): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_exit_clear() to the function .cpuinit.text:cpu_uninit()
The function cpu_exit_clear() references
the function __cpuinit cpu_uninit().
This is often because cpu_exit_clear lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of cpu_uninit is wrong.

Do I need to worry about this?
