From 69902c718c0b476e94ed7fccd3cf29ca39fe433a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vineet Gupta Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 10:56:44 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: Ensure blacklist data is aligned ARC Linux (not supporting native unaligned access) was failing to boot because __start_kprobe_blacklist was not aligned. This was because per generated vmlinux.lds it was emitted right next to .rodata with strings etc hence could be randomly unaligned. Fix that by ensuring a word alignment. While 4 would suffice for 32bit arches and problem at hand, it is probably better to put 8. | Path: (null) CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted | 3.15.0-rc3-next-20140430 #2 | task: 8f044000 ti: 8f01e000 task.ti: 8f01e000 | | [ECR ]: 0x00230400 => Misaligned r/w from 0x800fb0d3 | [EFA ]: 0x800fb0d3 | [BLINK ]: do_one_initcall+0x86/0x1bc | [ERET ]: init_kprobes+0x52/0x120 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: anton Kolesov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5361DB14.7010406@synopsys.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h index 40ceb3ceba79..8e0204a68c74 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h @@ -110,7 +110,8 @@ #endif #ifdef CONFIG_KPROBES -#define KPROBE_BLACKLIST() VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__start_kprobe_blacklist) = .; \ +#define KPROBE_BLACKLIST() . = ALIGN(8); \ + VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__start_kprobe_blacklist) = .; \ *(_kprobe_blacklist) \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__stop_kprobe_blacklist) = .; #else
