[PATCH v2 1/1] of: unittest: overlay: ensure proper alignment of copied FDT

From: frowand . list
Date: Thu Apr 08 2021 - 10:44:04 EST


From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

The Devicetree standard specifies an 8 byte alignment of the FDT.
Code in libfdt expects this alignment for an FDT image in memory.
kmemdup() returns 4 byte alignment on openrisc. Replace kmemdup()
with kmalloc(), align pointer, memcpy() to get proper alignment.

The 4 byte alignment exposed a related bug which triggered a crash
on openrisc with:
commit 79edff12060f ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")
as reported in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210327224116.69309-1-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

Reported-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

---

Please review carefully, I am not yet fully awake...

changes since version 1:
- use pointer from kmalloc() for kfree() instead of using pointer that
has been modified for FDT alignment
