# List references to vmlinux init sections from non-init sections.

# Unfortunately I had to exclude references from read only data to .init
# sections, almost all of these are false positives, they are created by
# gcc.  The downside of excluding rodata is that there really are some
# user references from rodata to init code, e.g. drivers/video/vgacon.c
#
# const struct consw vga_con = {
#        con_startup:            vgacon_startup,
#
# where vgacon_startup is __init.  If you want to wade through the false
# positives, take out the check for rodata.
