    perf symbols: Properly align symbol_conf.priv_size · 4d439517
    David S. Miller authored
    If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus
    error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer
    is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated.
    
    We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the
    private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a
    "struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be
    potentially unaligned.
    
    So, simply align the symbol_conf.priv_size value in symbol__init()
