Thanks for the report - luckily, the patch is the topmost one on the
branch so I can simply edit it.
Here's the new version, you can simply apply the last hunk on your tree
only to verify that it fixes it but it should as the hw arch should not
matter - it explodes because perf tool builds with -Werror and I can
trigger it too.
I'll redo tip/master once you confirm.
Thx.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/insn: Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy()
Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.
In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:
util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
10 | const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \
because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.
In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.
