[PATCH v2] mm/sparse.c: mark populate_section_memmap as __meminit

From: Ilya Leoshkevich
Date: Wed Oct 30 2019 - 11:16:55 EST


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.

v1 -> v2: Do not touch mm/sparse.c version of __populate_section_memmap:
its __init annotation is correct, since it is only called during init
phase (by sparse_init_nid), and contains the call to another __init
function. Spotted by kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> and Oscar
Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>.

I was notified that v1 has already been included into
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out. Since this is not a git
repository, I've decided to send a v2 instead of the fix. Please let me
know if I should send a fix instead.
