Subject: [for-next][PATCH 05/11] tracing: Move buffer in trace_seq to end of struct
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 13:01:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930170302.037046621@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250930170135.285740909@kernel.org
From: Elijah Wright <git@elijahs.space>
TRACE_SEQ_BUFFER_SIZE is dependent on the architecture for its size. on 64-bit
systems, it is 8148 bytes. forced 8-byte alignment in size_t and seq_buf means
that trace_seq is 8200 bytes on 64-bit systems. moving the buffer to the end
of the struct fixes the issue. there shouldn't be any side effects, i.e.
pointer arithmetic on trace_seq
