From e3d6bf0a0781a269f34250fd41e0d3dbfe540cf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 13:53:07 -0500 Subject: ring-buffer: replace sizeof of event header with offsetof Impact: fix to possible alignment problems on some archs. Some arch compilers include an NULL char array in the sizeof field. Since the ring_buffer_event type includes one of these, it is better to use the "offsetof" instead, to avoid strange bugs on these archs.
