[patch -v2] flat: fix data sections alignment

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Wed Mar 04 2009 - 08:51:24 EST


From: Oskar Schirmer <os@xxxxxxxxx>

The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the
stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections.

However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width
which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and
data-section alignment of at least this size.

This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that
is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's
not defined by the architecture.

It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an
uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

Paul, please note that on sh ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is defined to be 8
while the userspace stack was aligned to 4 before. I suppose aligning
the stack (and data sections) to 8 as well is the right thing...?

version 2:
Align ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN if defined, fall back to wordsize, drop all
the flat_stack_align()s as they mean the same
