[Qemu-devel] [PULL 3/4] target/i386/kvm.c: Don't mark cpuid_data as QEMU_PACKED

[Eduardo Habkost]

From: Peter Maydell <address@hidden>

clang complains about taking the address of a packed
member of a struct:

target/i386/kvm.c:1245:27: warning: taking address of packed member 'cpuid' of 
class or structure '' may result in an unaligned pointer value 
[-Waddress-of-packed-member]
    c = cpuid_find_entry(&cpuid_data.cpuid, 1, 0);
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
target/i386/kvm.c:1297:31: warning: taking address of packed member 'cpuid' of 
class or structure '' may result in an unaligned pointer value 
[-Waddress-of-packed-member]
        c = cpuid_find_entry(&cpuid_data.cpuid, kvm_base, 0);
                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The kernel's definitions of struct kvm_cpuid2 and struct
kvm_cpuid_entry2 are carefully set up with padding fields
so that there is no between-struct padding anyway, so
the QEMU_PACKED annotation is unnecessary and might result
in the compiler generating worse code. Drop it, and instead
assert at build time that there is no stray padding.
