Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: hyper-v: unexport __init-annotated hv_init_clocksource()
Date: Mon,  6 Jun 2022 14:02:38 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220606050238.4162200-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.

Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.

There are two ways to fix it:

  - Remove __init
  - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL

I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site,
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c is never compiled as modular.
(CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is boolean)
