Subject: ARM: zImage: make sure the stack is 64-bit aligned
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3bd2cbb95543acf44fe123eb9f038de54e655eb4;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ARM: zImage: make sure the stack is 64-bit aligned

With ARMv5+ and EABI, the compiler expects a 64-bit aligned stack so
instructions like STRD and LDRD can be used.  Without this, mysterious
boot failures were seen semi randomly with the LZMA decompressor.

While at it, let's align .bss as well.
