[Christian Zigotzky]

Hello Christophe,

Could you please add this patch to the GIT kernel because the issue still exists.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,
I got the following error messages with the latest Git kernel today:
GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x302a): Section mismatch in reference from the variable start_here_multiplatform to the function .init.text:.early_setup()
The function start_here_multiplatform() references
the function __init .early_setup().
This is often because start_here_multiplatform lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of .early_setup is wrong.
  MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms1.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms2.o
  LD      vmlinux

  SYSMAP  System.map
  CHKHEAD vmlinux
What does it mean?

I proposed a patch for it at https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1097845/
