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.

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 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.
