Subject: libperf: Fix alignment trap with xyarray contents in 'perf stat'
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9c5c083416500e95da098c01be092b937def7fa;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

libperf: Fix alignment trap with xyarray contents in 'perf stat'

Following the patch 'perf stat: Fix --no-scale', an alignment trap
happens in process_counter_values() on ARMv7 platforms due to the
attempt to copy non 64 bits aligned double words (pointed by 'count')
via a NEON vectored instruction ('vld1' with 64 bits alignment
constraint).

This patch sets a 64 bits alignment constraint on 'contents[]' field in
'struct xyarray' since the 'count' pointer used above points to such a
structure.
