Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/build: only align ENTRY_TEXT to PMD_SIZE if necessary
Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2025 13:16:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1752092219-16248-1-git-send-email-hamzamahfooz@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
PTI requires the begin and end of ENTRY_TEXT be aligned to PMD_SIZE.
SRSO requires srso_alias_untrain_ret to be 2M aligned. This costs
between 2-4 MiB of RAM (depending on the size of the preceding section).
So, only align when PTI is enabled or SRSO is enabled.
