Subject: perf: Fix unaligned accesses while fetching trace values
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=85cb68b27c428d477169f3aa46c72dba103a17bd;p=linux-beck.git

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.
