From c5be0b2eb1ca05e0cd747f9c0ba552c6ee8827a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Kennedy Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 16:55:25 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] module: reorder kparam_array to remove alignment padding on 64 bit builds Reorder structure kparam_array to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on 64 bit builds, dropping its size from 40 to 32 bytes. Also update the macro module_param_array_named to initialise the structure using its member names to allow it to be changed without touching all its call sites. 'git grep' finds module_param_array in 1037 places so this patch will save a small amount of data space across many modules.
