parisc architecture fixes for v6.7-rc3
Hi Linus,
this patchset fixes and enforces correct section alignments for the ex_table, altinstructions, parisc_unwind, jump_table and bug_table which are created by inline assembly.
Due to not being correctly aligned at link & load time they can trigger unnecessarily the kernel unaligned exception handler at runtime. While at it, I switched the bug table to use relative addresses which reduces the size of the table by half on 64-bit.
We still had the ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE errno symbols as left-overs from HP-UX, which now trigger build-issues with glibc. We can simply remove them.
Most of the patches are tagged for stable kernel series.
Please pull.
Thanks!
Helge
