commit 55228db269 upstream.
WG14 N2350 specifies that it is an undefined behavior to have type
definitions within offsetof", see
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2350.htm
This specification is also part of C23.
Therefore, replace the TYPE_ALIGN macro with the _Alignof builtin to
avoid undefined behavior. (_Alignof itself is C11 and the kernel is
built with -gnu11).
ISO C11 _Alignof is subtly different from the GNU C extension
__alignof__. Latter is the preferred alignment and _Alignof the
minimal alignment. For long long on x86 these are 8 and 4
respectively.
The macro TYPE_ALIGN's behavior matches _Alignof rather than
__alignof__.

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.
