Subject: Fix: urcu-bp: misaligned reader accesses
X-Git-Url: http://git.liburcu.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9b7cb520e0dd1f3591697bb62b6683f01ad6ca5;hp=e9b7cb520e0dd1f3591697bb62b6683f01ad6ca5;p=urcu.git

Fix: urcu-bp: misaligned reader accesses

This is a port from a fix in LTTng-UST's embedded urcu (d1a0fad8). The
original message follows:

    Running the LTTng-tools tests (test_valid_filter, for example) under
    address sanitizer results in the following warning:

      /usr/include/lttng/urcu/static/urcu-ust.h:155:6: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x7fc45db3a020 for type 'struct lttng_ust_urcu_reader', which requires 128 byte alignment
      0x7fc45db3a020: note: pointer points here
       c4 7f 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00
                    ^

    While the node member of lttng_ust_urcu_reader has an "aligned"
    attribute of CAA_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, the compiler can't ensure the
    alignment of members for dynamically allocated instances.

    The `data` pointer is changed from char* to struct
    lttng_ust_urcu_reader*, allowing the compiler to enforce the expected
    alignment constraints.

    Since `data` was addressed in bytes, the code using this field is
    adapted to use element counts. As the chunks are only used to allocate
    reader instances (and not other types), it makes the code a bit easier
    to read.
