>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1e7210c): Section mismatch in reference from the function ima_free_kexec_buffer() to the function .meminit.text:memblock_phys_free()
The function ima_free_kexec_buffer() references
the function __meminit memblock_phys_free().
This is often because ima_free_kexec_buffer lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of memblock_phys_free is wrong.

I've zapped it from tip for the time being.

Thx.

This turns out to be the old OF code that can now be hit on x86 when
CONFIG_OF=y because it defines HAVE_IMA_KEXEC. I suspect the warning
already exists on ARM64/PowerPC. Fix is to mark those functions up in
the same manner as the new x86 variants.

Below is on top of what was in tip; I can roll a v7 if preferred but
I think seeing the fix on its own is clearer.
---

ima_free_kexec_buffer() calls into memblock_phys_free() so must be
annotated __meminit. Equally ima_kexec_get_buffer() is executed during
__init so can be marked as such. This was already done in the new x86
IMA kexec passing functions but not for the pre-existing OF based
functions.

Yes, and you don't have to base it on top because, as I've said, I've
zapped your other patch there.

Once IMA folks are fine with that fix of yours I can take both, if they
wish so.

Why __meminit?

The very sparse comment over it says:

/* Used for MEMORY_HOTPLUG */
#define __meminit __section(".meminit.text") __cold notrace \
__latent_entropy

so how does ima_free_kexec_buffer() have anything to do with
MEMORY_HOTPLUG?

It calls memblock_phys_free() which is __init_memblock.

Now __init_memblock is defined as

#define __init_memblock __meminit

for some CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK thing so I guess that is the
connection.

But then the couple other functions which call into memblock are all
__init...

IOW, I probably am missing something...

Thx.

I'll roll a v7 collapsing them together and moving to __init as per
below.

I think the answer is that __meminit (or __init_memblock) works out as
the minimum required annotation, because memblock_phys_free() has that
annotation, but having looked closer at the call stack all of the usage
is under ima_init() which is marked __init, so it's more appropriate to
use that and discard the code after boot. There's no need for the ima
related functions to stay hanging around in the case memory hotplug is
enabled, because it's purely a boot time mechanism for passing the
buffer over a kexec boundary.
