[IA64] Simulator bootloader fails with gcc 4
After building a fresh tree with gcc 4 I can't boot the simulator as the bootloader loader dies with loading /home/ianw/kerntest/kerncomp//build/sim_defconfig/vmlinux... failed to read phdr After some investigation I believe this is do with differences between the alignment of variables on the stack between gcc 3 and 4 and the ski simulator. If you trace through with the simulator you can see that the disk_stat structure value returned from the SSC_WAIT_COMPLETION call seems to be only half loaded. I guess it doesn't like the alignment of the input. Signed-off-by: Ian Wienand <ianw@gelato.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
