Masahiro Yamada c7acee3d2f powerpc: align syscall table for ppc32 
Christophe Leroy reported that commit 7b4537199a ("kbuild: link
symbol CRCs at final link,  removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") broke
mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

    LD      vmlinux
    SYSMAP  System.map
    SORTTAB vmlinux
    CHKREL  vmlinux
  WARNING: 451 bad relocations
  c0b312a9 R_PPC_UADDR32     .head.text-0x3ff9ed54
  c0b312ad R_PPC_UADDR32     .head.text-0x3ffac224
  c0b312b1 R_PPC_UADDR32     .head.text-0x3ffb09f4
  c0b312b5 R_PPC_UADDR32     .head.text-0x3fe184dc
  c0b312b9 R_PPC_UADDR32     .head.text-0x3fe183a8
      ...

The compiler emits a bunch of R_PPC_UADDR32, which is not supported by
arch/powerpc/kernel/reloc_32.S.

The reason is there exists an unaligned symbol.

  $ powerpc-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux
    ...
  c0b31258 d spe_aligninfo
  c0b31298 d __func__.0
  c0b312a9 D sys_call_table
  c0b319b8 d __func__.0

Commit 7b4537199a is not the root cause. Even before that, I can
reproduce the same issue for mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
+ CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n.

It is just that nobody noticed because when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is
enabled, a __crc_* symbol inserted before sys_call_table was hiding the
unalignment issue.

Adding alignment to the syscall table for ppc32 fixes the issue.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
