ARM: Fix __cpuexit section mismatch warnings
Fix:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x247c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_idle() to the function .cpuexit.text:cpu_die()
The function cpu_idle() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function cpu_die() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __cpuexit annotation of cpu_die.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuexit.text+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
The function __cpuexit cpu_die() references
a function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
uses functionality in the init path.
The fix is often to remove the __cpuinit annotation of
secondary_start_kernel() so it may be used outside an init section.
Sam says:
> The annotation of cpu_die() is wrong.
> To be annotated __cpuexit the function shall:
> - be used in exit context and only in exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=n
> - be used outside exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=y
So, this also means __cpu_disable(), __cpu_die() and twd_timer_stop() are
also wrong. However, removing __cpuexit from cpu_die() creates:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6834): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
The function cpu_die() references
the function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
This is often because cpu_die lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of secondary_start_kernel is wrong.
so fix this using __ref.
