[PATCH v7 1/4] elf: Properly align all PT_LOAD segments [BZ #28676]

["H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com>]

Linker may set p_align of a PT_LOAD segment larger than p_align of the
first PT_LOAD segment to satisfy a section alignment:

Elf file type is DYN (Shared object file)
Entry point 0x0
There are 10 program headers, starting at offset 64

Program Headers:
  Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                 FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
  LOAD           0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
                 0x0000000000000834 0x0000000000000834  R E    0x1000
  LOAD           0x0000000000000e00 0x0000000000001e00 0x0000000000001e00
                 0x0000000000000230 0x0000000000000230  RW     0x1000
  LOAD           0x0000000000400000 0x0000000000400000 0x0000000000400000
                 0x0000000000000004 0x0000000000000008  RW     0x400000
...

 Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...

   01     .init_array .fini_array .data.rel.ro .dynamic .got .got.plt
   02     .data .bss

We should align the first PT_LOAD segment to the maximum p_align of all
PT_LOAD segments, similar to the kernel commit:
