[PATCH v2] earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride... again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit 470ca0de69fe ("serial: earlycon: Enable earlycon without command
line param") added EARLYCON_TABLE().

Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") referenced
commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker defined symbols")
and tried to fix EARLYCON_TABLE() using __aligned(32).

However, the fix copied just works around compiler behavior.  In fact, it
was subsequently re-implemented for tracing using a table of pointers in
commit 3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with
pointer array"), commit 654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment
using pointer array") and commit e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace
trace_event struct array with pointer array").

Let's do the same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.

Changes since v1:
 * Change __earlycon_table to an array of pointers.

Note: I do not have a convenient system to test the of/fdt.c part of this
patch, so would apreciate help verifying it.  Thanks!
