From c06cb8b1c4d25e5b4d7a2d7c2462619de1e0dbc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 17:44:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] i386: Force data segment to be 4K aligned o Currently there is no specific alignment restriction in linker script and in some cases it can be placed non 4K aligned addresses. This fails kexec which checks that segment to be loaded is page aligned. o I guess, it does not harm data segment to be 4K aligned.
