Subject: [PATCH v4 14/16] powerpc/kconfig: make _etext and data areas alignment configurable on Book3s 32
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 08:05:02 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7ed390a0c72d9bba6a1ea5bdda92dde287b18fa0.1550692943.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1550692943.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

Depending on the number of available BATs for mapping the different
kernel areas, it might be needed to increase the alignment of _etext
and/or of data areas.

This patchs allows the user to do it via Kconfig.
