--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 245b993d8f6c4e25f19191edfbd8080b645e12b1 ]
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.
Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds.
There are two ways to fix it:
- Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL
I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site, arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is boolean)
