Subject: [PATCH v1] perf sched: Avoid union type punning undefined behavior
Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2025 11:33:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250914183353.1962899-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

A union is used to set the priv value in thread (a void*) to a boolean
value through type punning. Undefined behavior sanitizer fails on this.
