Marc Kleine-Budde f5076c6ba0 can: uapi: can.h: mark union inside struct can_frame packed
In commit ea7800565a ("can: add optional DLC element to Classical
CAN frame structure") the struct can_frame::can_dlc was put into an
anonymous union with another u8 variable.

For various reasons some members in struct can_frame and canfd_frame
including the first 8 byes of data are expected to have the same
memory layout. This is enforced by a BUILD_BUG_ON check in af_can.c.

Since the above mentioned commit this check fails on ARM kernels
compiled with the ARM OABI (which means CONFIG_AEABI not set). In this
case -mabi=apcs-gnu is passed to the compiler, which leads to a
structure size boundary of 32, instead of 8 compared to CONFIG_AEABI
enabled. This means the the union in struct can_frame takes 4 bytes
instead of the expected 1.

Rong Chen illustrates the problem with pahole in the ARM OABI case:

| struct can_frame {
|          canid_t                    can_id;               /* 0     4 */
|          union {
|                  __u8               len;                  /* 4     1 */
|                  __u8               can_dlc;              /* 4     1 */
|          };                                               /* 4     4 */
|          __u8                       __pad;                /* 8     1 */
|          __u8                       __res0;               /* 9     1 */
|          __u8                       len8_dlc;             /* 10    1 */
|
|          /* XXX 5 bytes hole, try to pack */
|
|          __u8                       data[8]
| __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*    16     8 */
|
|          /* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
|          /* sum members: 19, holes: 1, sum holes: 5 */
|          /* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 5 */
|          /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
| } __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

Marking the anonymous union as __attribute__((packed)) fixes the
BUILD_BUG_ON problem on these compilers.

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.
