+Subject: of: fix linker-section match-table corruption
+
+From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
+
+commit 5812b32e01c6d86ba7a84110702b46d8a8531fe9 upstream.
+
+Specify type alignment when declaring linker-section match-table entries
+to prevent gcc from increasing alignment and corrupting the various
+tables with padding (e.g. timers, irqchips, clocks, reserved memory).
+
+This is specifically needed on x86 where gcc (typically) aligns larger
+objects like struct of_device_id with static extent on 32-byte
+boundaries which at best prevents matching on anything but the first
+entry. Specifying alignment when declaring variables suppresses this
+optimisation.
+
+Here's a 64-bit example where all entries are corrupt as 16 bytes of
+padding has been inserted before the first entry:
+
+       ffffffff8266b4b0 D __clk_of_table
+       ffffffff8266b4c0 d __of_table_fixed_factor_clk
+       ffffffff8266b5a0 d __of_table_fixed_clk
+       ffffffff8266b680 d __clk_of_table_sentinel
+
+And here's a 32-bit example where the 8-byte-aligned table happens to be
+placed on a 32-byte boundary so that all but the first entry are corrupt
+due to the 28 bytes of padding inserted between entries:
+
+       812b3ec0 D __irqchip_of_table
+       812b3ec0 d __of_table_irqchip1
+       812b3fa0 d __of_table_irqchip2
+       812b4080 d __of_table_irqchip3
+       812b4160 d irqchip_of_match_end
+
+Verified on x86 using gcc-9.3 and gcc-4.9 (which uses 64-byte
+alignment), and on arm using gcc-7.2.
+
+Note that there are no in-tree users of these tables on x86 currently
+(even if they are included in the image).
+
+Fixes: 54196ccbe0ba ("of: consolidate linker section OF match table declarations")
+Fixes: f6e916b82022 ("irqchip: add basic infrastructure")
