From 50ae81305c7a3ee802f0a1988503ce913c79cd6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 11:25:22 -0500 Subject: signal: Verify the alignment and size of siginfo_t Update the static assertions about siginfo_t to also describe it's alignment and size. While investigating if it was possible to add a 64bit field into siginfo_t[1] it became apparent that the alignment of siginfo_t is as much a part of the ABI as the size of the structure. If the alignment changes siginfo_t when embedded in another structure can move to a different offset. Which is not acceptable from an ABI structure. So document that fact and add static assertions to notify developers if they change change the alignment by accident.
