| H A D | dmi-sysfs.c | 66245ad0 Fri Feb 25 17:41:49 CST 2011 Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> firmware: Fix unaligned memory accesses in dmi-sysfs
DMI entries are arranged in memory back to back with no alignment
guarantees. This means that the struct dmi_header passed to callbacks
from dmi_walk() itself isn't byte aligned. This causes problems on
architectures that expect aligned data, such as IA64.
The dmi-sysfs patchset introduced structure member accesses through this
passed in dmi_header. Fix this by memcpy()ing the structures to
temporary locations on stack when inspecting/copying them.
