The dfa blob stream for the aa_dfa_unpack() function is expected to be aligned on a 8 byte boundary.
The static nulldfa_src[] and stacksplitdfa_src[] arrays store the inital apparmor dfa blob streams, but since they are declared as an array-of-chars the compiler and linker will only ensure a "char" (1-byte) alignment.
Add an __aligned(8) annotation to the arrays to tell the linker to always align them on a 8-byte boundary. This avoids runtime warnings at startup on alignment-sensitive platforms like parisc such as:
Kernel: unaligned access to 0x7f2a584a in aa_dfa_unpack+0x124/0x788 (iir 0xca0109f) Kernel: unaligned access to 0x7f2a584e in aa_dfa_unpack+0x210/0x788 (iir 0xca8109c) Kernel: unaligned access to 0x7f2a586a in aa_dfa_unpack+0x278/0x788 (iir 0xcb01090)
