[linuxsh-dev] .initcall alignment

[Bill M. <bi...@bi...>]

Having a problem with the initialization functions called from this
proceedure located in kernel/init/main.c

static void __init do_initcalls(void)
{
	initcall_t *call;

	call = &__initcall_start;
	do {
		(*call)();
		call++;
	} while (call < &__initcall_end);
}

A sample of the mapfile bracketed by symbols __initcall_start &
__initcall_end is allocated so:

8c10cc90 ? .initcal
8c10cc90 ? __initcall_kswapd_init
8c10cc90 A __initcall_start
8c10cc90 A __setup_end
8c10cca0 ? .initcal
8c10cca0 ? __initcall_bdflush_init
	-
	-
	-
8c10cd30 A __initcall_end

My problem is that the above proceedure increments "call" by 4 but the function
pointers which are positioned between __initcall_start .. end, "__initcall_kswapd_init" & "__initcall_bdflush_init", are allocated 
0x10 bytes apart and execution results expectedly in "Address Error".  

Suggestions?
