From b1b2138753be4a0c9dc50975b080f8e7743b78a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2022 15:37:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] linux-user: Remove unnecessary 'aligned' attribute from TaskState The linux-user struct TaskState has an 'aligned(16)' attribute. When the struct was first added in commit 851e67a1b46f in 2003, there was a justification in a comment (still present in the source today): /* NOTE: we force a big alignment so that the stack stored after is aligned too */ because the final field in the struct was "uint8_t stack[0];" But that field was removed in commit 48e15fc2d in 2010 which switched us to allocating the stack and the TaskState separately. Because we allocate the structure with g_new0() rather than as a local variable, the attribute made no difference to the alignment of the structure anyway. Remove the unnecessary attribute, and the corresponding comment.
