Linux kernels (at least up until 2.6.27) are lacking compat sys_ustat
handlers on some platforms (notably PPC) so that if called from 32 bits
on a 64-bit kernel, the kernel will copy out too much (32 bytes onto a
20-byte structure):
[root@xero xfstests]# xfs_logprint /dev/loop0
xfs_logprint:
*** stack smashing detected ***: xfs_logprint terminated
Aborted
This will be fixed upstream, but for the benefit of older kernels we
may want to guard against this by padding the structure we pass into
the syscall. We don't care about the values anyway, just the return
value.
