commit 5812b32e01c6d86ba7a84110702b46d8a8531fe9 upstream. Specify type alignment when declaring linker-section match-table entries to prevent gcc from increasing alignment and corrupting the various tables with padding (e.g. timers, irqchips, clocks, reserved memory). This is specifically needed on x86 where gcc (typically) aligns larger objects like struct of_device_id with static extent on 32-byte boundaries which at best prevents matching on anything but the first entry. Specifying alignment when declaring variables suppresses this optimisation. Here's a 64-bit example where all entries are corrupt as 16 bytes of padding has been inserted before the first entry: ffffffff8266b4b0 D __clk_of_table ffffffff8266b4c0 d __of_table_fixed_factor_clk ffffffff8266b5a0 d __of_table_fixed_clk ffffffff8266b680 d __clk_of_table_sentinel And here's a 32-bit example where the 8-byte-aligned table happens to be placed on a 32-byte boundary so that all but the first entry are corrupt due to the 28 bytes of padding inserted between entries: 812b3ec0 D __irqchip_of_table 812b3ec0 d __of_table_irqchip1 812b3fa0 d __of_table_irqchip2 812b4080 d __of_table_irqchip3 812b4160 d irqchip_of_match_end Verified on x86 using gcc-9.3 and gcc-4.9 (which uses 64-byte alignment), and on arm using gcc-7.2. Note that there are no in-tree users of these tables on x86 currently (even if they are included in the image). Fixes: |

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.
