The input and xtest tests for xserver 1.10 rc are failing on sparc with bus errors (unaligned memory accesses) in InitValuatorClassDeviceStruct.  For once that doesn't seem to be a bug in the tests.

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

Here's my understanding of the bug:

    valc = (ValuatorClassPtr)calloc(1, sizeof(ValuatorClassRec) +
                                    numAxes * sizeof(AxisInfo) +
                                    numAxes * sizeof(double));
[...]
    valc->axes = (AxisInfoPtr)(valc + 1);
    valc->axisVal = (double *)(valc->axes + numAxes);
[...]
    for (i=0; i<numAxes; i++) {
        InitValuatorAxisStruct(dev, i, labels[i], NO_AXIS_LIMITS, NO_AXIS_LIMITS,
                               0, 0, 0, mode);
        valc->axisVal[i]=0;
    }

The crash is in that last loop:

   0x0002efe8 <+168>:   ld  [ %i2 + %l0 ], %o2
   0x0002efec <+172>:   mov  %l1, %o1

=> 0x0002f028 <+232>:   clrx  [ %g2 + %g1 ]

and the faulting instruction is clearing valc->axisVal[0].

We have sizeof(ValuatorClassRec) == 52, sizeof(AxisInfo) == 28 and numAxis == 2.  A double on sparc needs 8-byte alignment, but valc->axisVal is (char *)valc + 52 + 2*28, which is not aligned.  The calloc and setting of valc->axisVal need to account for the required alignment.
