Subject: [PATCH] efi/cper: Fix cper_arm_ctx_info alignment
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:15:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250221111516.1468261-1-patrick.rudolph@9elements.com> (raw)
According to the UEFI Common Platform Error Record appendix, the
processor context information structure is a variable length structure,
but "is padded with zeros if the size is not a multiple of 16 bytes".
Currently this isn't honoured, causing all but the first structure to
be garbage when printed. Thus align the size to be a multiple of 16.
