RISC-V: Align the .init.text section
In order to improve kernel text protection, we need separate .init.text/
.init.data/.text in separate sections. However, RISC-V linker relaxation
code is not aware of any alignment between sections. As a result, it may
relax any RISCV_CALL relocations between sections to JAL without realizing
that an inter section alignment may move the address farther. That may
lead to a relocation truncated fit error. However, linker relaxation code
is aware of the individual section alignments.
The detailed discussion on this issue can be found here.
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain/issues/738
Keep the .init.text section aligned so that linker relaxation will take
that as a hint while relaxing inter section calls.
Here are the code size changes for each section because of this change.
section change in size (in bytes)
.head.text +4
.text +40
.init.text +6530
.exit.text +84
The only significant increase in size happened for .init.text because
all intra relocations also use 2MB alignment.
