Thomas Gleixner f92ff8f5dc x86/paravirt: Ensure proper alignment
The entries in the .parainstructions sections are 8 byte aligned and the
corresponding C struct paravirt_patch_site makes the array offset 16
bytes.

Though the pushed entries are only using 12 bytes, __parainstructions_end
is therefore 4 bytes short.

That works by chance because it's only used in a loop:

     for (p = start; p < end; p++)

But this falls flat when calculating the number of elements:

    n = end - start

That's obviously off by one.

Ensure that the gap is filled and the last entry is occupying 16 bytes.

  [ bp: Add the proper struct and section names. ]

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.
