+ The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
+ references from one section to another section.
+ Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
+ and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
+ most likely result in an oops.
+ In the code functions and variables are annotated with
+ __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
+ which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
+ The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
+ kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
+ do the following:
+ - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
+ When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
+ function we would lose the section information and thus
+ the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
+ This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
+ result in a larger kernel.
+ - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
+ When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
+ lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
+ introduced.
+ Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
+ will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
+ source. The drawback is that we will report the same
+ mismatch at least twice.
