[PATCH 2/4] modules: Ensure 64-bit alignment on __ksymtab_* sections

From: deller
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 17:18:31 EST


From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

On 64-bit architectures without CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS
(e.g. ppc64, ppc64le, parisc, s390x,...) the __KSYM_REF() macro stores
64-bit pointers into the __ksymtab* sections.
Make sure that those sections will be correctly aligned at module link time,
otherwise unaligned memory accesses may happen at runtime.

The __kcrctab* sections store 32-bit entities, so use ALIGN(4) for those.
