Hi Nathan,

Just one nit in the subject ... this area has the custom to use "()" to
highlight that the name refers to a function, so rather:

x86/resctrl: Annotate get_mem_config() functions as __init

On 9/13/24 4:27 PM, Nathan Chancellor wrote:
After a recent LLVM change [1] that deduces __cold on functions that
only call cold code (such as __init functions), there is a section
mismatch warning from __get_mem_config_intel(), which got moved to
.text.unlikely. as a result of that optimization:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __get_mem_config_intel+0x77 (section: .text.unlikely.) -> thread_throttle_mode_init (section: .init.text)

Mark __get_mem_config_intel() as __init as well since it is only called
from __init code, which clears up the warning.

While __rdt_get_mem_config_amd() does not exhibit a warning because it
does not call any __init code, it is a similar function that is only
called from __init code like __get_mem_config_intel(), so mark it __init
as well to keep the code symmetrical.
