Package: radvd
Version: 1:1.0-1
Severity: normal
Running radvd on an Alpha PWS 433au causes alignment traps with error
messages appearing on both the console and in syslog. The reported
address is consistent, and I was able to track down the cause. The
workaround below is not a proper fix, but will serve to illustrate the
problem.
The trap occurs in the vicinity of line 299 in send.c:send_ra():
cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(struct in6_pktinfo));
and the workaround on the Alpha is to force 8-byte alignment
(sizeof(size_t), which is the size of the cmsg_len structure member)
where chdr is declared near the beginning of send_ra():
/* char chdr[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(struct in6_pktinfo))]; */
char __attribute__((aligned(8))) chdr[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(struct
in6_pktinfo))];
Note that it's possible this is really a compiler quirk of some kind,
because a quick reading of the CMSG_SPACE() macro implies that some
attention is being paid to possible alignment issues. Compiler version
locally is gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21).

Description:
radvd - Router Advertisement Daemon
Closes: 456205
Changes:
radvd (1:1.1-2.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Non-maintainer upload for the alpha port, with maintainer's approval.
* Fix the alignment of the "chdr" buffer in send.c, so that we stop getting
unaligned traps that make the process run much less efficiently. This
probably also causes radvd to crash outright on sparc, though this has
not been confirmed. Thanks to Bob Tracy for the patch. Closes: #456205.
