Subject: [PATCH v5 01/10] jump_label: Don't warn on __exit jump entries

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 16:48:25 +0100

From: Andrew Murray <[email-masked]>

On architectures that discard .exit.* sections at runtime, a
warning is printed for each jump label that is used within an
in-kernel __exit annotated function:

can't patch jump_label at ehci_hcd_cleanup+0x8/0x3c
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/jump_label.c:410 __jump_label_update+0x12c/0x138

As these functions will never get executed (they are free'd along
with the rest of initmem) - we do not need to patch them and should
not display any warnings.

The warning is displayed because the test required to satisfy
jump_entry_is_init is based on init_section_contains (__init_begin to
__init_end) whereas the test in __jump_label_update is based on
init_kernel_text (_sinittext to _einittext) via kernel_text_address).

Fixes: 19483677684b ("jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on __init code earlier")
