commit adab66b71abfe206a020f11e561f4df41f0b2aba upstream.
It was believed that metag was the only architecture that required the ring buffer to keep 8 byte words aligned on 8 byte architectures, and with its removal, it was assumed that the ring buffer code did not need to handle this case. It appears that sparc64 also requires this.
The following was reported on a sparc64 boot up:
kernel: futex hash table entries: 65536 (order: 9, 4194304 bytes, linear) kernel: Running postponed tracer tests: kernel: Testing tracer function: kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140 kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a24] trace_function+0x44/0x140 kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140 kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a24] trace_function+0x44/0x140 kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140 kernel: PASSED
Need to put back the 64BIT aligned code for the ring buffer.
