[PATCH] uprobes: Re-order struct uprobe_task to save some space

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Fri Nov 01 2024 - 17:51:21 EST


On x86_64, with allmodconfig, struct uprobe_task is 72 bytes long, with a
hole and some padding.

/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 64, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* padding: 4 */
/* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */

Reorder the structure to fill the hole and avoid the padding.

This way, the whole structure fits in a single cacheline and some memory is
saved when it is allocated.

/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
/* forced alignments: 1 */
