Commit Message

Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because
it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and
thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer
versions of clang warn about this.

Avoid the problem by using local copies of the PMCW and SCSW
struct fields in copy_schib_from_guest() and copy_schib_to_guest().

Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

---
This seemed like a not totally ugly and reasonably localised fix
that satisfies clang. Oddly, this makes the generated object file
15K smaller (421K vs 406K), so it might even be better code...

I would find src_pmcw etc. easier to read. Other opinions?

Do you plan to send a v2, or should I just rename and apply?

If you want to rename and apply that would be great; I can
send a v2 if that's easier for you.

May I suggest to add a comment to the code here a la:

  /* Use a local copy to avoid unaligned access to packed structs */

or something similar? Otherwise, I'm pretty sure somebody will revert
this in a couple of years because they thinks the local copy is not
really necessary here...

Given that Thomas also wanted a comment added, a v2 would be easier for
me.
