Message:

tsar_boot: using global variable for the block device block cache

• Some GCC versions have a problem to align as indicated with the attribute(aligned()) macro the functions' local variables. Therefore, using a global variable instead of a static local variable for the block cache because this last must be aligned to a cache line.

• reset_elf_loader.c (modified) (2 diffs)
• reset_utils.c (modified) (2 diffs)
