If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc
and assembler then if the assembler code do not add
the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections
and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot
and a number.
Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this
pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections.
It will result in warnings like this:
WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): 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 <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.
All warnings seen with a defconfig build for:
x86 (32+64bit) and sparc64 has been fixed (via respective maintainers).
arm, powerpc (64 bit), s390 (32 bit), ia64, alpha, sh4 checked - no
warnings seen with a defconfig build.

If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and
we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user:
modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH).
If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected
then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost.
Sample outputs:
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr
The function discover_ebda() references
the variable __initdata ebda_addr.
This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong.
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit()
The variable pci_serial_quirks references
the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu()
The symbol arch_register_cpu is exported and annotated __cpuinit
Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.

Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config
settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering
just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and
a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y.
Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values -
there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be
processed.

Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG),
__cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch
check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual
configuration of for example HOTPLUG.
This has the effect that all users see much more
Section mismatch warnings than before because they
were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled.
The advantage of this is that when building a piece
of code then it is much more likely that the Section
mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be
felt less random of nature.

Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the
bad combinations of sections that refer to other
sections.
Compared to the previous approach we are much less
dependent on knowledge of what additional sections
the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false
positives low.
The implmentation is changed to use a table based
lookup and we now check all combinations in first
pass so we no longer need separate passes for init
and exit sections.
Tested that the same warnings are generated for
an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.
Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.
With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.
