include/linux/unaligned: pack the whole struct rather than just the field
The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than to the struct as a whole. This is not sufficient to enforce proper behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than one byte. For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary: __get_unaligned_cpu16: ldrh r0, [r0, #0] bx lr Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the proper unaligned access code to be generated: __get_unaligned_cpu16: ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 ldrb r0, [r0, #1] @ zero_extendqisi2 orr r0, r3, r0, asl #8 bx lr Signed-off-by: NWill Newton <will.newton@gmail.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
