Description Andrew Jones 2011-02-09 15:40:10 UTC

A recent backport (commit f3da3a2a5856b55520e93edb1c5452d555cb4b4b) introduced compiler warnings for section mismatches

WARNING: drivers/xen/built-in.o(.data+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable cpu_evtchn_mask_p to the variable .init.data:init_evtchn_mask
The variable cpu_evtchn_mask_p references
the variable __initdata init_evtchn_mask
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console, 

The fix is described in the warning, annotate the variable with __refdata
