From dc1d60a014aa9614518f9856ff661716d0969ffd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 15:36:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] FRV: Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment to be 8 bytes. This fixes a crash when SLOB is selected as the memory allocator. The FRV arch needs this so that it can use the load- and store-double instructions without faulting. By default SLOB sets the minimum to be 4 bytes.
