This patch makes 2 changes regarding alignment padding
for the "map_extra" field.
1) In the kernel header, "map_extra" and "btf_value_type_id"
are rearranged to consolidate the hole.
Before:
struct bpf_map {
...
u32 max_entries; /* 36 4 */
u32 map_flags; /* 40 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
u64 map_extra; /* 48 8 */
int spin_lock_off; /* 56 4 */
int timer_off; /* 60 4 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
u32 id; /* 64 4 */
int numa_node; /* 68 4 */
...
bool frozen; /* 117 1 */
/* XXX 10 bytes hole, try to pack */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
...
struct work_struct work; /* 144 72 */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
struct mutex freeze_mutex; /* 216 144 */
/* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
u64 writecnt; /* 360 8 */
/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 26 */
/* sum members: 354, holes: 2, sum holes: 14 */
/* padding: 16 */
/* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 10 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
After:
struct bpf_map {
...
u32 max_entries; /* 36 4 */
u64 map_extra; /* 40 8 */
u32 map_flags; /* 48 4 */
int spin_lock_off; /* 52 4 */
int timer_off; /* 56 4 */
u32 id; /* 60 4 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
int numa_node; /* 64 4 */
...
bool frozen /* 113 1 */
/* XXX 14 bytes hole, try to pack */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
...
struct work_struct work; /* 144 72 */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
struct mutex freeze_mutex; /* 216 144 */
/* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
u64 writecnt; /* 360 8 */
/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 26 */
/* sum members: 354, holes: 1, sum holes: 14 */
/* padding: 16 */
/* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 14 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
2) Add alignment padding to the bpf_map_info struct

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
