Nathan Lynch a39becb905 powerpc/rtas: ensure 4KB alignment for rtas_data_buf
[ Upstream commit 836b5b9fcc8e09cea7e8a59a070349a00e818308 ]

Some RTAS functions that have work area parameters impose alignment
requirements on the work area passed to them by the OS. Examples
include:

- ibm,configure-connector
- ibm,update-nodes
- ibm,update-properties

4KB is the greatest alignment required by PAPR for such
buffers. rtas_data_buf used to have a __page_aligned attribute in the
arch/ppc64 days, but that was changed to __cacheline_aligned for
unknown reasons by commit 033ef338b6 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into
arch/powerpc/kernel"). That works out to 128-byte alignment
on ppc64, which isn't right.

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of any real problems
caused by this. Either current RTAS implementations don't enforce the
alignment constraints, or rtas_data_buf is always being placed at a
4KB boundary by accident (or both, perhaps).

Use __aligned(SZ_4K) to ensure the rtas_data_buf has alignment
appropriate for all users.

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.
