Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix sigbus with perf-top
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:03:18 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1424304198-92028-1-git-send-email-david.ahern@oracle.com> (raw)

perf-top is terminating due to SIGBUS on sparc64. git bisect points to:

    commit 82396986032915c1572bfb74b224fcc2e4e8ba7c
    Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
    Date:   Mon Sep 8 13:26:35 2014 -0300

        perf evlist: Refcount mmaps

        We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
        PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
        refcount it.

This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the
event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned. Fix by adding a pad.
