27-rc fails to boot up if configured to use modules. Turns out vsmp_patch was marked __init, and vsmp_patch being the pvops 'patch' routine for vsmp, a call to vsmp_patch just turns out to execute a code page with series of 0xcc (POISON_FREE_INITMEM -- int3). vsmp_patch has been marked with __init ever since pvops, however, apply_paravirt can be called during module load causing calls to freed memory location. Since apply_paravirt can only be called during init/module load, make vsmp_patch with "__init_or_module" Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
