------------------ From: Eric Biggers <ebigge...@gmail.com> commit f97238373b8662a6d580e204df2e7bcbfa43e27a upstream. Accessing more than one byte from a symbol declared simply 'char' is undefined behavior, as reported by UBSAN: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/base/power/trace.c:178:18 load of address ffffffff8203fc78 with insufficient space for an object of type 'char' Avoid this by declaring the symbols as arrays.
