In reserve_bootstage(), in case size is odd, gd->new_bootstage
is not aligned. In bootstage_relocate(), the platform hangs when
getting access to data->record[i].name.
To avoid this issue, make gd->new_bootstage 16 byte aligned.

Fixes: ac9cd4805c8b ("bootstage: Correct relocation algorithm")

This patch is mandatory for stm32mp1 (ARM plaform with bootstage feature activated).

Without this patch, the boot failed for v2020.01-rc3 (crash has struct pointer new_bootstage is not aligned).

A comment in the code describing why this ALIGN_DOWN() is done would be
helpful.

Is this value sufficient for all boards?

I found references for:

x86_64 ABI: https://reviews.llvm.org/D30049: 16 bytes
ARMv8: ARMv8 Instruction Set Overview: quad word, 16 bytes

Best regards

Heinrich

Ok i will add a comment about that.

I simply reuse the same alignment already applied for other memory area :

    _ start_addr_sp in reserve_stacks()

    _ new_bloblist in reserve_bloblist()


Thanks
