From 3f6c515d723480bc8afd456b0a52438fe79128a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Cercueil Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 15:45:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: Fix appended dtb not properly aligned MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Commit 6654111c893f ("MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: align raw appended dtb to 8 bytes") changed the alignment from STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes to 8 bytes. The commit's message makes it sound like it was actually done on purpose, but this is not the case. The commit was written when raw appended dtb were not aligned at all. The STRUCT_ALIGN() was added a few days before, in commit 7a05293af39f ("MIPS: boot/compressed: Copy DTB to aligned address"). The true purpose of the commit was not to align specifically to 8 bytes, but to make sure that the generated vmlinux' size was properly padded to the alignment required for DTBs. While the switch to 8-byte alignment worked for vmlinux-appended dtb blobs, it broke vmlinuz-appended dtb blobs, as the decompress routine moves the blob to a STRUCT_ALIGNMENT aligned address. Fix this by changing the raw appended dtb blob alignment from 8 bytes back to STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes in vmlinux.lds.S.
