[ 37/74] ARC: [lib] strchr breakage in Big-endian configuration

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 26 2013 - 21:17:59 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joern Rennecke <joern.rennecke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b0f55f2a1a295c364be012e82dbab079a2454006 upstream.

For a search buffer, 2 byte aligned, strchr() was returning pointer
outside of buffer (buf - 1)

------------->8----------------
// Input buffer (default 4 byte aigned)
char *buffer = "1AA_";

// actual search start (to mimick 2 byte alignment)
char *current_line = &(buffer[2]);

// Character to search for
char c = 'A';

char *c_pos = strchr(current_line, c);

printf("%s\n", c_pos) --> 'AA_' as oppose to 'A_'
------------->8----------------
