Hello, Here is a patchset that fixes the Ftrace-induced crash experienced on sparc64 discussed in the following thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/16/2 The third patch changes the Tracepoints to use the more compact alignment scheme proposed here, even though their alignment on 32-byte works fine. This third patch is therefore not a fix per se. The patchset is based on 2.6.37. Hopefully there are not too many things to update for the current -git. Changelog since v2: drop the "packed" attribute, because it caused unaligned acceses on sparc64 by dropping the padding between consecutive "int" and "pointer"/"long" fields.
