Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 15/15] tracing/synthetic: Fix order of struct trace_dynamic_info
Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2023 23:16:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230909032351.104588615@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230909031615.047488015@goodmis.org>

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

To make handling BIG and LITTLE endian better the offset/len of dynamic
fields of the synthetic events was changed into a structure of:

 struct trace_dynamic_info {
 #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
	u16	offset;
	u16	len;
 #else
	u16	len;
	u16	offset;
 #endif
 };

to replace the manual changes of:

 data_offset = offset & 0xffff;
 data_offest = len << 16;

But if you look closely, the above is:

  <len> << 16 | offset

Which in little endian would be in memory:

 offset_lo offset_hi len_lo len_hi

and in big endian:

 len_hi len_lo offset_hi offset_lo

Which if broken into a structure would be:

 struct trace_dynamic_info {
 #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
	u16	len;
	u16	offset;
 #else
	u16	offset;
	u16	len;
 #endif
 };

Which is the opposite of what was defined.

Fix this and just to be safe also add "__packed".
