[PATCH] elf: align AT_RANDOM bytes
From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Wed May 29 2019 - 17:40:44 EST
AT_RANDOM content is always misaligned on x86_64:
$ LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 /bin/true | grep AT_RANDOM
AT_RANDOM: 0x7fff02101019
glibc copies first few bytes for stack protector stuff, aligned
access should be slightly faster.
