This is bad, when the caller is going to lay some struct containing longs or pointers over the alloc-ed memory. On ia64 it results in loads of unaligned access exceptions flooding dmesg. Alloc-ed memory comes from the mem[] array in the following struct (from src/mem.c): struct di_mem_area { di_mem_area *next; /**< the next mem area */ di_mem_area *prev; /**< the previous mem area */ di_ksize_t index; /**< the current index into the "mem" array */ di_ksize_t free; /**< the number of free bytes in this mem area */ di_ksize_t allocated; /**< the number of atoms allocated from this area */ char mem[MEM_AREA_SIZE]; /**< the mem array from which atoms get allocated * the actual size of this array is determined by * the mem chunk "area_size". ANSI says that it * must be declared to be the maximum size it * can possibly be (even though the actual size * may be less). */ }; given: include/debian-installer/types.h:typedef uint32_t di_ksize_t the above array comes out at 4 byte alignment. We need to make mem[] aligned(MEM_ALIGN). I also wonder about MEM_AREA_SIZE being hardwired at 4, although I didn't dig in to the code far enough to see if it should be 8 on 64 bit platforms. --------------------------------------- Received: (at 215448-close) by bugs.debian.org; 26 Jan 2004 05:21:25 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 25 21:21:25 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from auric.debian.org [206.246.226.45] (mail) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1AkzBd-0005Hf-00; Sun, 25 Jan 2004 21:21:25 -0800 Received: from rdonald by auric.debian.org with local (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1Akz9q-0007q5-00; Mon, 26 Jan 2004 00:19:34 -0500 From: Bastian Blank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Katie: lisa $Revision: 1.26 $ Subject: Bug#215448: fixed in libdebian-installer 0.18 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: Randall Donald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 00:19:34 -0500 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_01_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-3.0 required=4.0 tests=HAS_BUG_NUMBER autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_01_25 X-Spam-Level: Source: libdebian-installer Source-Version: 0.18 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of libdebian-installer, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive: libdebian-installer-extra4-udeb_0.18_i386.udeb to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer-extra4-udeb_0.18_i386.udeb libdebian-installer-extra4_0.18_i386.deb to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer-extra4_0.18_i386.deb libdebian-installer4-dev_0.18_i386.deb to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer4-dev_0.18_i386.deb libdebian-installer4-udeb_0.18_i386.udeb to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer4-udeb_0.18_i386.udeb libdebian-installer4_0.18_i386.deb to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer4_0.18_i386.deb libdebian-installer_0.18.dsc to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer_0.18.dsc libdebian-installer_0.18.tar.gz to pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer_0.18.tar.gz A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached.
