From 2cfe0d3009418a132b93d78642a8059a38fe5944 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:32:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] task_struct: only use anon struct under randstruct plugin The original intent for always adding the anonymous struct in task_struct was to make sure we had compiler coverage. However, this caused pathological padding of 40 bytes at the start of task_struct. Instead, move the anonymous struct to being only used when struct layout randomization is enabled.
