Bastian Blank 51597acfd3 Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data.  As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems.  But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.

The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext".  Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext.  The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.

On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.
