From: Fangrui Song <maskray@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 793f49a87aae24e5bcf92ad98d764153fc936570 ] arm64 references the start address of .builtin_fw (__start_builtin_fw) with a pair of R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21/R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC relocations. The compiler is allowed to emit the R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC relocation because struct builtin_fw in include/linux/firmware.h is 8-byte aligned. The R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC relocation requires the address to be a multiple of 8, which may not be the case if .builtin_fw is empty. Unconditionally align .builtin_fw to fix the linker error. 32-bit architectures could use ALIGN(4) but that would add unnecessary complexity, so just use ALIGN(8).
