Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] arm64: Bail out PIE builds early if load address is not 4K aligned
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2020 11:07:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200904090749.4067768-3-edgar.iglesias@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200904090749.4067768-1-edgar.iglesias@gmail.com>

From: "Edgar E. Iglesias" <edgar.iglesias@xilinx.com>

PIE requires a 4K aligned load address. If this is not met, trap
the startup sequence in a WFI loop rather than running into obscure
failures.
