Architecture: sparc
Machine: sparc
>Description:
Booting a -current sparc (32bit) kernel crashes when writing a dev_t to
a struct tty:
0xf032f66c is in zstty_attach (../../../../dev/ic/z8530tty.c:394).
389 }
390 #endif
391 aprint_normal("\n");
392
393 tp = ttymalloc();
394 tp->t_dev = dev;
395 tp->t_oproc = zsstart;
396 tp->t_param = zsparam;
397 tp->t_hwiflow = zshwiflow;
398 tty_attach(tp);
and tp is 0xf41b4c0c - which is only 32bit aligned, but struct tty contains
a 64 bit t_dev, which needs 64 bit alignement.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just boot a -current sparc kernel (should probably happen on other 32bit
alignement picky archs too)
>Fix:
n/a
