In arch/mips/kernel/head.S, there is this code in kernel_entry: la t0, _edata sw zero, (t0) What guarantees that edata will be word aligned? I don't see a .ALIGN directive in the ld.script so is it safe to assume that edata will always be at least word aligned? I've linked into the kernel a very large ramdisk, and edata ends up being an odd address, causing a cpu fault. Pete |
