From 946a105e16651c35e9cc670bff23812761f1ad35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:20:44 +0100 Subject: ARM: 6961/1: zImage: Add build-time check for correctly-sized proc_type entries It is easy to mis-maintain the proc_types table such that the entries become wrongly-sized and misaligned when the kernel is built in Thumb-2. This patch adds an assembly-time check which will turn most common size/alignment mistakes in this table into build failures, to avoid having to debug the boot-time kernel hang which would happen if the resulting kernel were actually booted.
