Almost all uses of the BOUNDED_SECTION macros are ALIGN(8), either
explicitly, or by being below an aligned section containing x*8 byte
objects. The noteworthy exception is BOUNDED_SECTION(__dyndbg), which
immediately follows BOUNDED_SECTION(__dyndbg_classes).
On i386, struct _ddebug_classmap is 28 bytes, so without an explicit
ALIGN(8) in the macro, the following __dyndbg section gets misaligned,
causing a NULL ptr deref in dynamic_debug_init().
So fix this with an explicit ALIGN(8) in the existing BOUNDED_SECTION
macros, and introduce _ALIGNED variants to handle the cases with an
explicit . = ALIGN(x)
Explicit alignments: EXCEPTION_TABLE, ORC_UNWIND_TABLE
update BOUNDED_SECTION uses inside . = ALIGN(x) to use _ALIGNED
variants, but keep the outer ALIGNs so the symbols between them are
not "re-aligned".
In particular, scripts/sorttable.c does not tolerate sloppy padding.
At the top of ORC_UNWIND_TABLE, add . = ALIGN(4) to match the struct
orc_header __align() call in the code:
