-Subject: [PATCH] zlib: fix pointer alignment
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-The function AllocForBrotli prefixes the allocated memory with its
-size, and returns a pointer to the region after it. This pointer can
-however no longer be suitably aligned. Correct this by allocating
-the maximum of the the size of the size_t and the max alignment.
-
-On Arm 32bits the size_t is 4 bytes long, but the alignment is 8 for
-some NEON instructions. When Brotli is compiled with optimizations
-enabled newer GCC versions will use the NEON instructions and trigger
-a bus error killing node.
-
-see https://github.com/google/brotli/issues/1159
