Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selftests/ftrace: Account for 8-byte aligned trace_marker_raw events
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 15:24:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607072431.125633-3-hui.wang@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607072431.125633-1-hui.wang@canonical.com>
trace_marker_raw.tc assumes that the raw marker payload length
reported in trace_pipe is the result of int((id + 3) / 4) * 4, but
that is not true on kernels with CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
enabled.
With forced 8-byte alignment, the ring buffer event forces 8-byte
alignment. The event length is stored in array[0], the payload data
and id are placed in a struct raw_data_entry which is stored starting
at array[1]. In this case, the printed payload data length is 8*N+4
bytes.
To make the testcase pass in this case, add a kconfig_enabled() helper
and use it to detect CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS so
trace_marker_raw.tc can calculate the expected length correctly.
