[PATCH v2] PCI/AER: Avoid info leak in __print_tlp_header

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Thu Feb 26 2015 - 03:55:31 EST


Commit fab4c256a58b ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper")
introduced the helper function __print_tlp_header, but contrary to the
intention, the behaviour did change: Since we're taking the address of
the parameter t, the first 4 or 8 bytes printed will be the value of
the pointer t itself, and the remaining 12 or 8 bytes will be
who-knows-what (something from the stack).

We want to show the values of the four members of the struct
aer_header_log_regs; that can be done without ugly and error-prone
casts. On little-endian this should produce the same output as
originally intended, and since no-one has complained about getting
garbage output so far, I think big-endian should be ok too.

Fixes: fab4c256a58b ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper")
