Peter Zijlstra 85c2ce9104 sched, vmlinux.lds: Increase STRUCT_ALIGNMENT to 64 bytes for GCC-4.9
For some mysterious reason GCC-4.9 has a 64 byte section alignment for
structures, all other GCC versions (and Clang) tested (including 4.8
and 5.0) are fine with the 32 bytes alignment.

Getting this right is important for the new SCHED_DATA macro that
creates an explicitly ordered array of 'struct sched_class' in the
linker script and expect pointer arithmetic to work.

Fixes: c3a340f7e7 ("sched: Have sched_class_highest define by vmlinux.lds.h")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
