[ Upstream commit 793f49a87aae24e5bcf92ad98d764153fc936570 ] arm64 references the start address of .builtin_fw (__start_builtin_fw) with a pair of R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21/R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC relocations. The compiler is allowed to emit the R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC relocation because struct builtin_fw in include/linux/firmware.h is 8-byte aligned. The R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC relocation requires the address to be a multiple of 8, which may not be the case if .builtin_fw is empty. Unconditionally align .builtin_fw to fix the linker error. 32-bit architectures could use ALIGN(4) but that would add unnecessary complexity, so just use ALIGN(8).

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.
