When clearing the .bss section in kernel_entry we do so using LONG_S instructions, and branch whilst the current write address doesn't equal the end of the .bss section minus the size of a long integer. The .bss section always begins at a long-aligned address and we always increment the write pointer by the size of a long integer - we therefore rely upon the .bss section ending at a long-aligned address. If this is not the case then the long-aligned write address can never be equal to the non-long-aligned end address & we will continue to increment past the end of the .bss section, attempting to zero the rest of memory. Despite this requirement that .bss end at a long-aligned address we pass 0 as the end alignment requirement to the BSS_SECTION macro and thus don't guarantee any particular alignment, allowing us to hit the error condition described above. Fix this by instead passing 8 bytes as the end alignment argument to the BSS_SECTION macro, ensuring that the end of the .bss section is always at least long-aligned.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
