From a1b633df55d5207b49ce145ede783d671385854c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 23:31:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lib: uuid: alignment error in gen_rand_uuid() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Packed structures like struct uuid are not aligned. GCC 9.1 therefore throws an error when trying to compile gen_rand_uuid(). lib/uuid.c: In function ‘gen_rand_uuid’: lib/uuid.c:244:2: error: converting a packed ‘struct uuid’ pointer (alignment 1) to a ‘unsigned int’ pointer (alignment 4) may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Werror=address-of-packed-member] 244 | unsigned int *ptr = (unsigned int *)&uuid; | ^~~~~~~~ Generate the uuid in a properly aligned buffer. The byte order of a random number should not matter. Do not call cpu_to_be32() to change the byte order.
