This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled powerpc: Align TOC to 256 bytes to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.19.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 7a7ac4cd54a001d596e80c0d50fe72b515c121e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 14:45:40 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Align TOC to 256 bytes commit 5e95235ccd5442d4a4fe11ec4eb99ba1b7959368 upstream. Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need to enforce this alignment in our linker script, otherwise pointers to our TOC variables (__toc_start, __prom_init_toc_start) could be incorrect. If they are bad, we die a few hundred instructions into boot.
