ARM: 8431/1: fix alignement of __bug_table section entries On old ARM chips, unaligned accesses to memory are not trapped and fixed. On module load, symbols are relocated, and the relocation of __bug_table symbols is done on a u32 basis. Yet the section is not aligned to a multiple of 4 address, but to a multiple of 2. This triggers an Oops on pxa architecture, where address 0xbf0021ea is the first relocation in the __bug_table section : apply_relocate(): pxa3xx_nand: section 13 reloc 0 sym '' Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bf0021ea pgd = e1cd0000 [bf0021ea] *pgd=c1cce851, *pte=c1cde04f, *ppte=c1cde01f Internal error: Oops: 23 [#1] ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 606 Comm: insmod Not tainted 4.2.0-rc8-next-20150828-cm-x300+ #887 Hardware name: CM-X300 module task: e1c68700 ti: e1c3e000 task.ti: e1c3e000 PC is at apply_relocate+0x2f4/0x3d4 LR is at 0xbf0021ea pc : [<c000e7c8>] lr : [<bf0021ea>] psr: 80000013 sp : e1c3fe30 ip : 60000013 fp : e49e8c60 r10: e49e8fa8 r9 : 00000000 r8 : e49e7c58 r7 : e49e8c38 r6 : e49e8a58 r5 : e49e8920 r4 : e49e8918 r3 : bf0021ea r2 : bf007034 r1 : 00000000 r0 : bf000000 Flags: Nzcv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none Control: 0000397f Table: c1cd0018 DAC: 00000051 Process insmod (pid: 606, stack limit = 0xe1c3e198) [<c000e7c8>] (apply_relocate) from [<c005ce5c>] (load_module+0x1248/0x1f5c) [<c005ce5c>] (load_module) from [<c005dc54>] (SyS_init_module+0xe4/0x170) [<c005dc54>] (SyS_init_module) from [<c000a420>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x38) Fix this by ensuring entries in __bug_table are all aligned to at least of multiple of 4.
