Subject[PATCH 04/20] fanotify: use __aligned_u64 in fanotify userspace metadata
Date
Currently the userspace struct exposed by fanotify uses
__attribute__((packed)) to make sure that alignment works on multiarch
platforms. Since this causes a severe performance penalty on some
platforms we are going to switch to using explicit alignment notation on
the 64bit values so we don't have to use 'packed'
