cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
changelog entry:
Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)
The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
#define __cpuinit
#else
#define __cpuinit __init
#endif
$> grep HOTPLUG .config
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier
cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
__init cpufreq_stats_init()
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.

Whoops, I lost a hunk of the last patch somehow.

cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.
We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.
Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.
There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably
good for the first cut.
- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.
(akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now
does lock_cpu_hotplug())

Changes to the cpufreq stats driver:
* Changes the way P-state transition table looks in /sysfs providing more
clear output
* Changes the time unit in the output from HZ to clock_t

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
