commit 9f80ccda53b9417236945bc7ece4b519037df74d upstream. When building for Thumb2, the .alt.smp.init sections that are emitted by the ALT_UP() patching code may not be 32-bit aligned, even though the fixup_smp_on_up() routine expects that. This results in alignment faults at module load time, which need to be fixed up by the fault handler. So let's align those sections explicitly, and prevent this from occurring.

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.
