Subject: [RESEND][PATCH] tracing/synthetic: Fix order of struct trace_dynamic_info
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2023 16:39:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230908163929.2c25f3dc@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
To make handling BIG and LITTLE endian better the offset/len of dynamic
fields of the synthetic events was changed into a structure of:
struct trace_dynamic_info {
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
u16 offset;
u16 len;
#else
u16 len;
u16 offset;
#endif
};
to replace the manual changes of:
data_offset = offset & 0xffff;
data_offest = len << 16;
But if you look closely, the above is:
<len> << 16 | offset
Which in little endian would be in memory:
offset_lo offset_hi len_lo len_hi
and in big endian:
len_hi len_lo offset_hi offset_lo
Which if broken into a structure would be:
struct trace_dynamic_info {
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
u16 len;
u16 offset;
#else
u16 offset;
u16 len;
#endif
};
Which is the opposite of what was defined.
Fix this and just to be safe also add "__packed".
