From 62226983da070f7e51068ec2e3a4da34672964c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hendrik Brueckner Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 14:48:22 +0100 Subject: KEYS: correct alignment of system_certificate_list content in assembly file Apart from data-type specific alignment constraints, there are also architecture-specific alignment requirements. For example, on s390 symbols must be on even addresses implying a 2-byte alignment. If the system_certificate_list_end symbol is on an odd address and if this address is loaded, the least-significant bit is ignored. As a result, the load_system_certificate_list() fails to load the certificates because of a wrong certificate length calculation. To be safe, align system_certificate_list on an 8-byte boundary. Also improve the length calculation of the system_certificate_list content. Introduce a system_certificate_list_size (8-byte aligned because of unsigned long) variable that stores the length. Let the linker calculate this size by introducing a start and end label for the certificate content.
