Subject: [PATCH] `unaligned access' in acpi get_root_bridge_busnr()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51b190b304bbeb1090ba20b0623d39917fa62997;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] `unaligned access' in acpi get_root_bridge_busnr()

In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of
an unsigned long.  This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an
int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment
through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable.
