And indeed all the __initdata annotated local and global variables on s390 are in the init.data section. So I'm wondering what this patch series is about. Or I must have missed something.
I think it reaches back to times when gcc 2.7.* was still supported, which does behave as described in the documentation. gcc 2.95 and newer don't require explicit initialization anymore, so this has become a non-issue. bye, Roman
