While working on https://reviews.llvm.org/D40900 (which effectively is about enabling compiler-rt on sparc these days), I came across two failing profile testcases:
Profile-sparc :: instrprof-merge-match.test Profile-sparc :: instrprof-merge.c Profile-sparcv9 :: instrprof-merge-match.test Profile-sparcv9 :: instrprof-merge.c
All of them crashed with a SIGBUS in __llvm_profile_merge_from_buffer:
Thread 2 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 1 (LWP 1)] 0x00012368 in __llvm_profile_merge_from_buffer ( ProfileData=0x2384c <main.Buffer> "\377lprofR\201", ProfileSize=360) at /vol/llvm/src/llvm/local/projects/compiler-rt/lib/profile/InstrProfilingMerge.c:95 95 SrcDataEnd = SrcDataStart + Header->DataSize;
where Header is insufficiently aligned for a strict-alignment target like SPARC.
Fixed by forcing the alignment to uint64_t, the members of struct __llvm_profile_header,
in the callers.
Tested on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11. Ok for trunk?
