From 7d4151b5098fb0bf7f6f8d1156e1ab9d83260580 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olof Johansson Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2013 13:01:47 -0800 Subject: powerpc: Fix alignment of secondary cpu spin vars Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') resulted in losing proper alignment of the spinlock variables used when booting secondary CPUs, causing some quite odd issues with failing to boot on PA Semi-based systems. This showed itself on ppc64_defconfig, but not on pasemi_defconfig, so it had gone unnoticed when I initially tested the LE patch set. Fix is to add explicit alignment instead of relying on good luck. :) [ It appears that there is a different issue with PA Semi systems however this fix is definitely correct so applying anyway -- BenH ] Fixes: 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') Reported-by: Christian Zigotzky Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67811 Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt --- arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'arch') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S index fad2abdcbdfe..4f0946de2d5c 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S @@ -80,6 +80,7 @@ END_FTR_SECTION(0, 1) * of the function that the cpu should jump to to continue * initialization. */ + .balign 8 .globl __secondary_hold_spinloop __secondary_hold_spinloop: .llong 0x0 -- cgit v1.2.3
