Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: bpf: Fix UBSAN misaligned access in BPF JIT
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 09:13:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225091359.3299924-1-tabba@google.com> (raw)
struct bpf_plt contains a u64 'target' field, but the struct itself is
often placed at 4-byte aligned offsets in the BPF JIT buffer. This
causes UBSAN to report misaligned-access warnings when dereferencing the
structure.
To pacify UBSAN and signal the compiler about the layout without
over-aligning the entire JIT buffer allocation, mark struct bpf_plt as
__packed.
No functional change intended.
Suggested-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
