[PATCH v1] perf intel-pt: pkt-decoder: Fix alignment issues

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Mon Oct 02 2023 - 18:19:22 EST


The byte aligned buffer is cast to large types and dereferenced
causing misaligned pointer warnings from undefined behavior sanitizer.
Fix the alignment issues with memcpy which may require the
introduction of temporaries.
