Hi,
I get this warning while compiling for ARM/SA1100:
mm/sparse.c: In function '__section_nr':
mm/sparse.c:135: warning: 'root' is used uninitialized in this function
With a small patch in fs/proc/meminfo.c, I find that NR_SECTION_ROOTS
is zero, which certainly explains the warning.
# cat /proc/meminfo
NR_SECTION_ROOTS=0
NR_MEM_SECTIONS=32
SECTIONS_PER_ROOT=512
SECTIONS_SHIFT=5
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=32
SECTION_SIZE_BITS=27
