[PATCH 5.15 050/106] clocksource: hyper-v: unexport __init-annotated hv_init_clocksource()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ 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)
