Given that include/uapi/linux/rseq.h declares struct rseq_cs as __attribute__((aligned(4 * sizeof(__u64)))), and considering this comment:
/* * struct rseq_cs is aligned on 4 * 8 bytes to ensure it is always * contained within a single cache-line. It is usually declared as * link-time constant data. */
The .balign 32 is the right thing to do here. I will add a .balign 32 to ARM selftests code as well.
Thanks,
Mathieu
