Subject: [PATCH] kcsan: fix section mismatch for __write_once_size/blacklisted_initcalls
Date: Tue,  5 May 2020 16:11:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200505141137.665940-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

Moving __write_once_size out of line causes a section mismatch warning
with clang in one instance:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x8dc): Section mismatch in reference from the function __write_once_size() to the variable .init.data:blacklisted_initcalls
The function __write_once_size() references
the variable __initdata blacklisted_initcalls.
This is often because __write_once_size lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of blacklisted_initcalls is wrong.

Remove the __init_or_module annotation from the variable as a workaround.

Fixes: dfd402a4c4ba ("kcsan: Add Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer infrastructure")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

So far, my randconfig checks found two such instances, one for read_once
and one for write_once. There are probably a couple more in random
configurations, but I guess they are rare enough that we can just work
around them like this.
