Subject: [patch 0/3] Fix alignment of custom sections made from structures (v2)
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:01:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110120050158.353255552@efficios.com> (raw)
(sending v2 after properly refreshing my patches and re-reading through the
posted version carefully)
Hello,
Here is a patchset that fixes the Ftrace-induced crash experienced on sparc64
discussed in the following thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/16/2
The third patch changes the Tracepoints to use the more compact alignment scheme
proposed here, even though their alignment on 32-byte works fine. This third
patch is therefore not a fix per se.
The patchset is based on 2.6.37. Hopefully there are not too many things to
update for the current -git.
Comments, flames as well as acclamation are welcome. ;-)
Mathieu
