From 286e4f90a72c0b0621dde0294af6ed4b0baddabb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:19:51 +1100 Subject: powerpc: Align p_end p_end is an 8 byte value embedded in the text section. This means it is only 4 byte aligned when it should be 8 byte aligned. Fix this by adding an explicit alignment. This fixes an issue where POWER7 little endian builds with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y fail to boot.

This showed itself on ppc64_defconfig, but not on pasemi_defconfig, so it had gone unnoticed when I initially tested the LE patch set. Fix is to add explicit alignment instead of relying on good luck. :) [ It appears that there is a different issue with PA Semi systems however this fix is definitely correct so applying anyway -- BenH ] Fixes: 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') Reported-by: Christian Zigotzky Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67811 Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt --- arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S index fad2abdcbdf..4f0946de2d5 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S @@ -80,6 +80,7 @@ END_FTR_SECTION(0, 1) * of the function that the cpu should jump to to continue * initialization. */ + .balign 8 .globl __secondary_hold_spinloop __secondary_hold_spinloop: .llong 0x0 -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
