[PATCH v2] x86/insn, tools/x86: Fix some potential undefined behavior.

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Oct 15 2020 - 12:12:24 EST


From: Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo <nums@xxxxxxxxxx>

Don't perform unaligned loads in __get_next and __peek_nbyte_next as
these are forms of undefined behavior.

These problems were identified using the undefined behavior sanitizer
(ubsan) with the tools version of the code and perf test. Part of this
patch was previously posted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190724184512.162887-4-nums@xxxxxxxxxx/

v2. removes the validate_next check and merges the 2 changes into one as
requested by Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
