  "message": "modules: don\u0027t export section names of empty sections via sysfs\n\nOn the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module\nthis kernel \"badness warning\":\n  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename \u0027/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text\u0027\n  Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487\n\nReason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple\n.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag\nwhich is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.\n\nAn objdump on such a kernel module gives:\nSections:\nIdx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn\n  0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024  00000000  00000000  00000034  2**2\n                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA\n  1 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**0\n                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE\n  2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**2\n                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE\n  3 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  000000d4  2**0\n                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE\n...\nSince the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won\u0027t be\nloaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don\u0027t see a reason\nwhy such sections need to be listed under\n/sys/module/\u003cmodule_name\u003e/sections/\u003csection_name\u003e either.\n\nThe attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section\nnames which are empty.\n\nThis fixes bugzilla http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\u003d14703\n\nSigned-off-by: Helge Deller \u003cdeller@gmx.de\u003e\nCC: rusty@rustcorp.com.au\nCC: akpm@linux-foundation.org\nCC: James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com\nCC: roland@redhat.com\nCC: dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n",
