From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> With 5.9 kernel on ARM64, I found ftrace_dump output was broken but it had no problem with normal output "cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace". With investigation, it seems coping the data into temporal buffer seems to break the align binary printf expects if the static buffer is not aligned with 4-byte. IIUC, get_arg in bstr_printf expects that args has already right align to be decoded and seq_buf_bprintf says ``the arguments are saved in a 32bit word array that is defined by the format string constraints``. So if we don't keep the align under copy to temporal buffer, the output will be broken by shifting some bytes. This patch fixes it.
