Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 12/16] bug/x86/arm: Align bug_frames sections.
Hi Konrad,
On 16/09/2016 18:38, Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk wrote:
Most of the WARN_ON or BUG_ON sections are properly aligned on
x86. However on ARM and on x86 assembler the macros don't include
any aligment information - hence they end up being the default
s/aligment/alignment/
byte granularity.
On ARM32 it is paramount that the aligment is word-size (4)
Ditto
otherwise if one tries to use (uint32_t*) access (such
as livepatch ELF relocations) we get a Data Abort.
Enforcing bug_frames to have the proper aligment across all

architectures and in both C and x86 makes them all the same.
Furthermore on x86 the bloat-o-meter detects that with this
change:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 0/0 (0)
function old new delta
On ARM32:
add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 384/-288 (96)
function old new delta
gnttab_unpopulate_status_frames - 384 +384
do_grant_table_op 10808 10520 -288
And ARM64:
add/remove: 1/2 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 4164/-4236 (-72)
function old new delta
gnttab_map_grant_ref - 4164 +4164
do_grant_table_op 9892 9836 -56
grant_map_exists 300 - -300
__gnttab_map_grant_ref 3880 - -3880

v3: First submission. Replaces the "livepatch/elf: Adjust section aligment to
word"
patch.
v4: Remove the .ALIGN(4) in xen.lds.S for x86 (the only place needing
that change).
Update the commit description with correct x86 results
Remove the . = ALIGN(4); in linker filer on x86 [the only file needing the
change]
