From 96350a7067c73a288af679f3420431cabe9453bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 12:19:51 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Align p_end commit 286e4f90a72c0b0621dde0294af6ed4b0baddabb upstream. 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.
