<title>tick/nohz: unexport __init-annotated tick_nohz_full_setup()</title>

<id>2390095113e98fc52fffe35c5206d30d9efe3f78</id>
<content type='text'>
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.

Commit 28438794aba4 ("modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported
init/exit sections") fixed it so modpost started to warn it again, then
this showed up:

    MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(___ksymtab_gpl+tick_nohz_full_setup+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_tick_nohz_full_setup to the function .init.text:tick_nohz_full_setup()
  The symbol tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init
  Fix this by removing the __init annotation of tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export.

Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called from the
built-in code in kernel/sched/isolation.c.

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2.

The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.

It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.

printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

between early and regular console functionality.

It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.

printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.
