Subject: [PATCH 4.9 064/159] sh: machvec: Use char[] for section boundaries

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit c5783af354688b24abd359f7086c282ec74de993 ]

As done for other sections, define the extern as a character array,
which relaxes many of the compiler-time object size checks, which would
otherwise assume it's a single long. Solves the following build error:

arch/sh/kernel/machvec.c: error: array subscript 'struct sh_machine_vector[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'long int[1]' [-Werror=array-bounds]:  => 105:33
