Subject: [PATCH dwarves v3 5/5] btf_encoder: Align .BTF section to 8 bytes
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2021 13:42:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210205134221.2953163-6-gprocida@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210205134221.2953163-1-gprocida@google.com>
This is to avoid misaligned access to BTF type structs when
memory-mapping ELF objects.
