Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mdio: unexport _init-annotated mdiobusinit() EXPORTSYMBOL 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 has been broken for a decade. Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways to fix it: - Remove _init - Remove EXPORTSYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site, drivers/net/phy/phydevice.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIGPHYLIB is boolean)
