Ian Rogers 579d6c6d77 perf bpf: 8 byte align bpil data
bpil data is accessed assuming 64-bit alignment resulting in undefined
behavior as the data is just byte aligned. With an -fsanitize=undefined
build the following errors are observed:

  $ sudo perf record -a sleep 1
  util/bpf-event.c:310:22: runtime error: load of misaligned address 0x55f61084520f for type '__u64', which requires 8 byte alignment
  0x55f61084520f: note: pointer points here
   a8 fe ff ff 3c  51 d3 c0 ff ff ff ff 04  84 d3 c0 ff ff ff ff d8  aa d3 c0 ff ff ff ff a4  c0 d3 c0
               ^
  util/bpf-event.c:311:20: runtime error: load of misaligned address 0x55f61084522f for type '__u32', which requires 4 byte alignment

               ^
  util/bpf-event.c:198:33: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x55f61084523f for type 'const struct bpf_func_info', which requires 4 byte alignment
  0x55f61084523f: note: pointer points here
   58 04 00 00 00  00 00 00 0f 00 00 00 63  02 00 00 3b 00 00 00 ab  02 00 00 44 00 00 00 14  03 00 00

Correct this by rouding up the data sizes and aligning the pointers.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
