asm_macros: set the default assembly code alignment to 4 byte
Assembly routines are usually defined by using "func" and "endfunc": func foo ... endfunc foo Currently, the "func" macro does not specify ".align" directive by default. It causes unaligned instruction under some circumstances. As far as I tested, this problem happens for GCC 5 or older. It did not happen for GCC 6 or newer. Taking into account that GCC 4.x / 5.x is still used, make sure that assembly code is at least 4 byte aligned. [ How to reproduce the problem ] For example, use GCC 5.3 downloaded from Linaro: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.05/ aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3.1-2016.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz Expand mbedtls-2.4.2 to the current directory. Try the following: $ git log --oneline -1 77544efb Merge pull request #1071 from jeenu-arm/syntax-fix $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version | head -1 aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.05) 5.3.1 20160412 $ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=uniphier \ TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 MBEDTLS_DIR=mbedtls-2.4.2 ( snip build log ) $ aarch64-linux-gnu-nm build/uniphier/release/bl1/bl1.elf | grep handler 00000000800088f4 T bl1_fwu_smc_handler 00000000800084c8 T bl1_smc_handler 000000008000a6e0 t _panic_handler 000000008000a8e0 W plat_error_handler 000000008000a8e8 W plat_panic_handler 000000008000a8d8 W plat_reset_handler 000000008000a39f T reset_handler 000000008000a367 t smc_handler 000000008000a2ef t smc_handler64 You will notice "smc_handler64", "reset_handler", etc. are not properly aligned.
