Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: Fix undefined behavior in {get,put}_unaligned_be32()
Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2025 18:20:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251006012037.159295-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
These violate aliasing rules and may be miscompiled unless
-fno-strict-aliasing is used. Replace them with the standard memcpy()
solution. Note that compilers know how to optimize this properly.
Fixes: 4a1c9e544b8d ("libbpf: remove linux/unaligned.h dependency for libbpf_sha256()")
Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
