From 45d619bdaf799196d702a9ae464b07066d6db2f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2022 17:15:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] s390: expicitly align _edata and _end symbols on page boundary Symbols _edata and _end in the linker script are the only unaligned expicitly on page boundary. Although _end is aligned implicitly by BSS_SECTION macro that is still inconsistent and could lead to a bug if a tool or function would assume that _edata is as aligned as others. For example, vmem_map_init() function does not align symbols _etext, _einittext etc. Should these symbols be unaligned as well, the size of ranges to update were short on one page. Instead of fixing every occurrence of this kind in the code and external tools just force the alignment on these two symbols.
