Image that was created something like this: # # iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files... # # However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in # firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that # 16-byte alignment is not guaranteed. # # Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment. # # [ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment # requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware # to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit # to account for this one special case" patch - Linus ] # # Signed-off-by: Jari Ruusu # Cc: Borislav Petkov # Cc: Fenghua Yu # Cc: Luis Chamberlain # Cc: stable@kernel.org # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 f5ae2ea6347a308cfe91f53b53682ce635497d0d # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_44x_fsp2_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- 44x/fsp2_defconfig # make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_44x_fsp2_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x96142c) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000) INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0xa00000) Image Name: Linux-5.5.0-rc6-gf5ae2ea6347a Created: Thu Jan 16 18:50:55 2020 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 4230148 Bytes = 4131.00 KiB = 4.03 MiB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_44x_fsp2_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:01:20.251282
