apparmor: Fix 8-byte alignment for initial dfa blob streams
commit c567de2c4f5fe6e079672e074e1bc6122bf7e444 upstream. The dfa blob stream for the aa_dfa_unpack() function is expected to be aligned on a 8 byte boundary. The static nulldfa_src[] and stacksplitdfa_src[] arrays store the initial apparmor dfa blob streams, but since they are declared as an array-of-chars the compiler and linker will only ensure a "char" (1-byte) alignment. Add an __aligned(8) annotation to the arrays to tell the linker to always align them on a 8-byte boundary. This avoids runtime warnings at startup on alignment-sensitive platforms like parisc such as: Kernel: unaligned access to 0x7f2a584a in aa_dfa_unpack+0x124/0x788 (iir 0xca0109f) Kernel: unaligned access to 0x7f2a584e in aa_dfa_unpack+0x210/0x788 (iir 0xca8109c) Kernel: unaligned access to 0x7f2a586a in aa_dfa_unpack+0x278/0x788 (iir 0xcb01090) Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 98b824ff8984 ("apparmor: refcount the pdb") Signed-off-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
