[PATCH] mm/sparse.c: mark populate_section_memmap as __meminit

[PATCH] mm/sparse.c: mark populate_section_memmap as __meminit

[Ilya Leoshkevich]

Building the kernel on s390 with -Og produces the following warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x28dabe): Section mismatch in reference from the function populate_section_memmap() to the function .meminit.text:__populate_section_memmap()
The function populate_section_memmap() references
the function __meminit __populate_section_memmap().
This is often because populate_section_memmap lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of __populate_section_memmap is wrong.

While -Og is not supported, in theory this might still happen with
another compiler or on another architecture. So fix this by using the
correct section annotations.

So mm/sparse-vmemmap.c:__populate_section_memmap() already has this 
annotation. I guess it's the right thing to do as 
populate_section_memmap() is called from

static struct page * __meminit section_activate()

I did not really check deep, but I __think__ you only need to add __meminit in
populate_section_memmap functions.

__populate_section_memmap for SPARSE case is only used at init phase.

You are absolutely right, and this is what must be causing the problem
on sh4.

With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, populate_section_memmap calls
__populate_section_memmap version from mm/sparse-vmemmap.c, which is
already marked as __meminit.

Without CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, populate_section_memmap does not
call __populate_section_memmap (which is then defined in mm/sparse.c).
Like you said, in this case the latter is called only during the init
phase (by sparse_init_nid), so it should keep the __init annotation.

I think it still makes sense to mark the !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
version of populate_section_memmap as __meminit, since it's only called
from __meminit section_activate.

I will send a v2.
