From: He Zhe <[email protected]>We should keep the case of "#define debug_align(X) (X)" for all arches without CONFIG_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX ability, which would save people, who are sensitive to system size, a lot of memory when using modules, especially for embedded systems. This is also the intention of the original #ifdef... statement and still valid for now. Note that this still keeps the effect of the fix of the following commit, 38f054d549a8 ("modules: always page-align module section allocations"), since when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is enabled, module pages are aligned. Signed-off-by: He Zhe <[email protected]> --- This patch is based on the top of modules-next tree, 38f054d549a8.
I've applied this. Thanks! Jessica
