init: Align init_task to avoid conflict with MUTEX_FLAGS
When booting on 32-bit machines (seen on OpenRISC) I saw this warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES turned on. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/locking/mutex.c:1242 __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x328/0x3ec DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(__owner_task(owner) != current) Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.8.0-rc1-simple-smp-00005-g2864e2171db4-dirty #179 Call trace: [<(ptrval)>] dump_stack+0x34/0x48 [<(ptrval)>] __warn+0x104/0x158 [<(ptrval)>] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x328/0x3ec [<(ptrval)>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x7c/0x94 [<(ptrval)>] __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x328/0x3ec [<(ptrval)>] mutex_unlock+0x18/0x28 [<(ptrval)>] __cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked.part.0+0x29c/0x2f4 [<(ptrval)>] ? page_alloc_cpu_dead+0x0/0x30 [<(ptrval)>] ? start_kernel+0x0/0x684 [<(ptrval)>] __cpuhp_setup_state+0x4c/0x5c [<(ptrval)>] page_alloc_init+0x34/0x68 [<(ptrval)>] ? start_kernel+0x1a0/0x684 [<(ptrval)>] ? early_init_dt_scan_nodes+0x60/0x70 irq event stamp: 0 I traced this to kernel/locking/mutex.c storing 3 bits of MUTEX_FLAGS in the task_struct pointer (mutex.owner). There is a comment saying that task_structs are always aligned to L1_CACHE_BYTES. This is not true for the init_task. On 64-bit machines this is not a problem because symbol addresses are naturally aligned to 64-bits providing 3 bits for MUTEX_FLAGS. Howerver, for 32-bit machines the symbol address only has 2 bits available. Fix this by setting init_task alignment to at least L1_CACHE_BYTES.
