[RFC] [PATCH 1/16] x86_64: Align data segment to page size boundary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



o Explicitly align data segment to PAGE_SIZE boundary otherwise depending on
  config options and tool chain it might be placed on a non PAGE_SIZE aligned
  boundary and vmlinux loaders like kexec fail when they encounter a 
  PT_LOAD type segment which is not aligned to PAGE_SIZE boundary.
