Subject: [ARM] 4074/1: Flat loader stack alignment
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4cc2f7a84d64d25a16bb9383148c1467284e2356;p=linux-beck.git

[ARM] 4074/1: Flat loader stack alignment

The ARM EABI requires doubleword (8-byte) stack alignment at all public entry
points.  The patch below makes the bFLT loader honour this.
It's always safe to start with a doubleword aligned stack so it doesn't seem
worth making this conditional on CONFIG_AEABI.
