From 8ee422cffbfd3e2a16265fe6680a8dde2f5e58fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Brodkin Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 02:21:12 +0300 Subject: resolv: fix unaligned tmp buffer corner-case On execution of "inet/gethost_r-align" test I noticed failure due to unaligned access (instaed of 4-byte aligned 1-byte aligned address was attempted to be accessed). Further investigation confirmed this nice and helpful test failure. Following commit removed usage of ALIGN_BUFFER_OFFSET on entry to __read_etc_hosts_r(): http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=f65e66078b9f4d2d7f0fc336dee36e78fc467c0f So indeed if target architecture doesn't allow unaligned access and provided tmp buffer is not word aligned (and we will deal with pointers which means word-sized data units), then CPU will fail during execution. In case of ARC we'll see "Unaligned access" exception like this: --->8--- # potentially unexpected fatal signal 7.
