Hi all, Struct ia64_fpreg(asm-ia64/fpu.h) is forced to align 16-byte. An array of this struct is in struct sal_processor_static_info (asm-ia64/sal.h), however, we can't touch the array correctly because of the forced alignment. Usually, SAL log record contains: Record Header - sizeof(sal_log_record_header_t) = 40 Section Header - sizeof(sal_log_sec_hdr_t) = 24 Section Body(Processor Error Section) - sizeof(before mod_error_info) = 32 - sizeof(sal_log_mod_error_info_t) = 48 - sizeof(sal_cpuid_info) = 48 - sizeof(sal_log_mod_error_info_t) = 48 - sizeof(sal_processor_static_info_t) = 5256 (offset of struct ia64_fpreg fr[0] in sal_processor_static_info_t) = 3208 So, the total offset of fr[0] from beginning of the record is: 40 + 24 + 32 + 48*n + 48 + 3208 This number can't be divided by 16. fr[0] never fit to the 16-byte boundary because of the remainder. This trivial patch will fix this issue. Thanks, H.Seto Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto
