Subject: [PATCH 1/5] perf jitdump: Byte-swap debug entries via unaligned-safe accessors
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 11:40:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904144058.3341-2-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904144058.3341-1-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 for their u64 addr and int lineno/discrim fields. On strict
alignment architectures the byte-swap loop in jit_get_next_entry()
performed misaligned 64-bit loads and stores through struct member
access, which is undefined behavior.
Use get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() for the byte-swap of each field.
