A mask encoding of a cpu map is laid out as: u16 nr u16 long_size unsigned long mask[]; However, the mask may be 8-byte aligned meaning there is a 4-byte pad after long_size. This means 32-bit and 64-bit builds see the mask as being at different offsets. On top of this the structure is in the byte data[] encoded as: u16 type char data[] This means the mask's struct isn't the required 4 or 8 byte aligned, but is offset by 2. Consequently the long reads and writes are causing undefined behavior as the alignment is broken. Fix the mask struct by creating explicit 32 and 64-bit variants, use a union to avoid data[] and casts; the struct must be packed so the layout matches the existing perf.data layout. Taking an address of a member of a packed struct breaks alignment so pass the packed perf_record_cpu_map_data to functions, so they can access variables with the right alignment. As the 64-bit version has 4 bytes of padding, optimizing writing to only write the 32-bit version. Committer notes: Disable warnings about 'packed' that break the build in some arches like riscv64, but just around that specific struct.

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.
