Message-Id: <1276399981-27524-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org> Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2010 23:33:01 -0400 From: Mike Frysinger <vapier@...too.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Tim Abbott <tabbott@...lice.com> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@....com> Subject: [PATCH] vmlinux.lds.h: lower init ramfs alignment to 4 The new init ramfs format (cpio based) requires an alignment of 4 (per the documentation and per the source files themselves). As for compressed sources, the decompressors can all deal with unaligned buffers. The cpio source is also found in the __init sections of the kernel, so once they are read and expanded into a tmpfs, the source is freed. That means there is no need to force page alignment here either. This has been used on Blackfin systems for many releases without issue.
