Upon building the default Sequoia (AMCC-440EPx) configuration, the
MODPOST step warns about section mismatches:
WARNING: modpost: Found 5 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
After using the CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH option, the section
mismatches are cases in one of the following:
1) functions in the device initialization (.devinit)
calls routines which are contained in the .text section;
2) functions in the device init section calls routines in the
device exit section;
3) data structures in the .data section contain pointers to
functions in the .devinit section or .devexit section; (note that
these data structures are used during initialization)
My question is, will this cause the code to malfunction?
thanks,
Steve
