 unaligned access

Hi Andrew:

Sorry for the mistaken of the Andrey's email.

After the test I found this version still exist the problem that will transfer the align problem to size
mismatch, I will send a new version to fix it.

The correct way is like this:

diff --git a/lib/ubsan.c b/lib/ubsan.c
index fb0409d..0799678 100644
--- a/lib/ubsan.c
+++ b/lib/ubsan.c
@@ -321,9 +321,10 @@ void __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch(struct type_mismatch_data *data,

        if (!ptr)
                handle_null_ptr_deref(data);
-       else if (data->alignment && !IS_ALIGNED(ptr, data->alignment))
-               handle_missaligned_access(data, ptr);
-       else
+       else if (data->alignment && !IS_ALIGNED(ptr, data->alignment)) {
+               if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS))
+                       handle_missaligned_access(data, ptr);
+       } else
                handle_object_size_mismatch(data, ptr);
 }
 EXPORT_SYMBOL(__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch);

Thanks
