Subject: [PATCH 2/5] perf genelf: Use unaligned-safe accessors for debug entries
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 10:22:48 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903132251.237029-3-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903132251.237029-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
debug_entry records are packed with a variable-length name[] field, so
entries after the first may start at addresses that are not naturally
aligned. jit_process_debug_info(), get_special_opcode() and
emit_lineno_info() read and write the u64 addr and int lineno fields
through struct member access, which is undefined behavior on
strict-alignment architectures.
Use get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() to read and update each field,
matching the layout the jitdump writers (LLVM, JVM agents) emit, which
packs entries without padding.
