[PATCH] gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment

[Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>]

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.
Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions pointers
contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in random
jumps.
So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always aligned as well.

Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:
