[PATCHv2 2/2] fs/pstore: Use memcpy_fromio() to save old ramoops buffer

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra
Date: Mon Feb 15 2016 - 03:21:07 EST


From: Andrew Bresticker <abrestic@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The ramoops buffer may be mapped as either I/O memory or uncached
memory. On ARM64, this results in a device-type (strongly-ordered)
mapping. Since unnaligned accesses to device-type memory will
generate an alignment fault (regardless of whether or not strict
alignment checking is enabled), it is not safe to use memcpy().
memcpy_fromio() is guaranteed to only use aligned accesses, so use
that instead.
