In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv4: fix ARM64 alignment fault in multipath hash seed
struct sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_seed contains two u32 fields
(user_seed and mp_seed), making it an 8-byte structure with a 4-byte
alignment requirement.
In fib_multipath_hash_from_keys(), the code evaluates the entire
struct atomically via READ_ONCE():
While this silently works on GCC by falling back to unaligned regular loads which the ARM64 kernel tolerates, it causes a fatal kernel panic when compiled with Clang and LTO enabled.
Commit e35123d83ee3 ("arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire
when CONFIG_LTO=y") strengthens READ_ONCE() to use Load-Acquire
instructions (ldar / ldapr) to prevent compiler reordering bugs
under Clang LTO. Since the macro evaluates the full 8-byte struct,
Clang emits a 64-bit ldar instruction. ARM64 architecture strictly
requires `
