    x86: fix section mismatch for i386 init code · 0e83815b

    Startup code for i386 in arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S is using the
    reference variable initial_code that is located in the .cpuinit.data
    section. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, startup code is not in an
    init section and can be called later too. In this case the reference
    initial_code must be kept too. This patch fixes this. See below for
    the section mismatch warning.
    
     WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuinit.data+0x0): Section mismatch in reference
     from the variable initial_code to the function
     .init.text:i386_start_kernel()
     The variable __cpuinitdata initial_code references
     a function __init i386_start_kernel().
     If i386_start_kernel is only used by initial_code then
     annotate i386_start_kernel with a matching annotation.
