From 85cb68b27c428d477169f3aa46c72dba103a17bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 10:34:59 +0200 Subject: perf: Fix unaligned accesses while fetching trace values Accessing trace values of an 8 size may end up in a segfault on archs that can't deal with misaligned access, which is the case for sparc 64. This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned to 4 and not to 8. Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size. This fixes segfaults on perf tools in sparc 64.
