Ariel Marcovitch 485e0255c1 powerpc: Fix alignment bug within the init sections
[ Upstream commit 2225a8dda263edc35a0e8b858fe2945cf6240fde ]

This is a bug that causes early crashes in builds with an .exit.text
section smaller than a page and an .init.text section that ends in the
beginning of a physical page (this is kinda random, which might
explain why this wasn't really encountered before).

The init sections are ordered like this:
  .init.text
  .exit.text
  .init.data

Currently, these sections aren't page aligned.

Because the init code might become read-only at runtime and because
the .init.text section can potentially reside on the same physical
page as .init.data, the beginning of .init.data might be mapped
read-only along with .init.text.

Then when the kernel tries to modify a variable in .init.data (like
kthreadd_done, used in kernel_init()) the kernel panics.

To avoid this, make _einittext page aligned and also align .exit.text
to make sure .init.data is always seperated from the text segments.

Fixes: 060ef9d89d ("powerpc32: PAGE_EXEC required for inittext")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
