[PATCH v3 0/5] perf file align features, avoid UB

[Ian Rogers]

Features like hostname may not be 8-byte aligned. Add padding to make
the feature aligned to avoid undefined behavior (UB). Modify the
writing of the CPU topology features to always write die_cpus_list
even if empty, as the size could have been aligned and not allow the
missing list to be detected. As die_id may be invalid (< 0) ensure it
isn't for platforms like ARM. Avoid UB also in machine where a NULL
may be incremented.

v3: Additional patch to avoid invalid die_ids
v2: Fix CPU topology as described in replies to v1.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241212080530.1329601-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/

Ian Rogers (5):
  perf cpumap: If the die_id is missing use socket/physical_package_id
  perf header: Write out even empty die_cpus_list
  perf synthetic-events: Ensure features are aligned
  perf machine: Avoid UB by delaying computing branch entries
  perf record: Assert synthesized events are 8-byte aligned
