Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers<br />
<br />
The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least<br />
4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding.<br />
<br />
However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some architectures like m68k<br />
only guarantee 2-byte alignment of 32-bit values. This breaks the<br />
assumption and causes two related WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger.<br />
<br />
To fix this, the runtime checks are adjusted to silently ignore any lock<br />
that is not 4-byte aligned, effectively disabling the feature in such<br />
cases and avoiding the related warnings.<br />
<br />
