ARM: 8431/1: fix alignement of __bug_table section entries
On old ARM chips, unaligned accesses to memory are not trapped and
fixed. On module load, symbols are relocated, and the relocation of
__bug_table symbols is done on a u32 basis. Yet the section is not
aligned to a multiple of 4 address, but to a multiple of 2.
This triggers an Oops on pxa architecture, where address 0xbf0021ea
is the first relocation in the __bug_table section :
apply_relocate(): pxa3xx_nand: section 13 reloc 0 sym ''
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bf0021ea
pgd = e1cd0000
[bf0021ea] *pgd=c1cce851, *pte=c1cde04f, *ppte=c1cde01f

Fix this by ensuring entries in __bug_table are all aligned to at least
of multiple of 4. This transforms a module section __bug_table as :
- [12] __bug_table PROGBITS 00000000 002232 000018 00 A 0 0 1
+ [12] __bug_table PROGBITS 00000000 002232 000018 00 A 0 0 4
