commit c7acee3d2f128a38b68fb7af85dbbd91bfd0b4ad upstream.
Christophe Leroy reported that commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link
symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") broke
mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

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.

Commit 7b4537199a4a 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.

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.
