The ubsan always report Warning just like: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ../include/linux/etherdevice.h:386:9 load of misaligned address ffffffc069ba0482 for type 'long unsigned int' which requires 8 byte alignment CPU: 0 PID: 901 Comm: sshd Not tainted 4.xx+ #1 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: [<ffffffc000093600>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x348 [<ffffffc000093968>] show_stack+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffc001651664>] dump_stack+0x144/0x1b4 [<ffffffc0016519b0>] ubsan_epilogue+0x18/0x74 [<ffffffc001651bac>] __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch+0x1a0/0x25c [<ffffffc00125d8a0>] dev_gro_receive+0x17d8/0x1830 [<ffffffc00125d928>] napi_gro_receive+0x30/0x158 [<ffffffc000f4f93c>] virtnet_receive+0xad4/0x1fa8
The reason is that when enable the CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT, the ubsan will report the unaligned access even if the system support it (CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y), it will produce a lot of noise in the log and cause confusion. This patch will close the detection of unaligned access when the system support unaligned access.
