[PATCH 01/20] ipc/sem.c: remove sem_base, embed struct sem

From: Manfred Spraul
Date: Thu May 25 2017 - 14:56:18 EST


sma->sem_base is initialized with
sma->sem_base = (struct sem *) &sma[1];

The current code has four problems:
- There is an unnecessary pointer dereference - sem_base is not needed.
- Alignment for struct sem only works by chance.
- The current code causes false positive for static code analysis.
- This is a cast between different non-void types, which the future
randstruct GCC plugin warns on.

And, as bonus, the code size gets smaller:

Before:
0 .text 00003770
After:
0 .text 0000374e
