From 3bd2cbb95543acf44fe123eb9f038de54e655eb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:45:08 -0400 Subject: ARM: zImage: make sure the stack is 64-bit aligned With ARMv5+ and EABI, the compiler expects a 64-bit aligned stack so instructions like STRD and LDRD can be used. Without this, mysterious boot failures were seen semi randomly with the LZMA decompressor. While at it, let's align .bss as well.
