From fd1db0a31319bd21c521b197ce17c557556b821b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 13:41:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: disable modpost warnings for linkonce sections Disable modpost warnings for linkonce sections My build gives lots of warnings like WARNING: sound/core/snd.o (.gnu.linkonce.wi.mpspec_def.h.30779716): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example contains section definitions for use in .S files. But for .linkonce. duplicated sections are actually ok and expected. So just disable the warning for this case.
