    module: set __jump_table alignment to 8 · ab426321
    David Daney authored Mar 01, 2017
    For powerpc the __jump_table section in modules is not aligned, this
    causes a WARN_ON() splat when loading a module containing a __jump_table.
    
    Strict alignment became necessary with commit 3821fd35
    ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key"), currently in
    linux-next, which uses the two least significant bits of pointers to
    __jump_table elements.
    
    Fix by forcing __jump_table to 8, which is the same alignment used for
    this section in the kernel proper.
