Subject: [PATCH 19/19] kbuild: whitelist references from variables named _timer to .init.text From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2007 22:19:24 +0200
arm uses a lot of ops structures named *_timer that has legitimite references to .init.text. So let's add this variable to the list of variables that may reference .init.text without causing any warning.
