From 97ee351b50a49717543533cfb85b4bf9d88c9680 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 16:14:49 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/boot: Fix zImage TOC alignment Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need to enforce this alignment in the zImage linker script, otherwise pointers to our TOC variables (__toc_start) could be incorrect. If the actual start of the TOC and __toc_start don't have the same value we crash early in the zImage wrapper.
