From 98562ad8cb03fa6b7ba7f50168cdb34a98abcc1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 13:30:10 -0800 Subject: module: explicitly align module_version_attribute structure We force particular alignment when we generate attribute structures when generation MODULE_VERSION() data and we need to make sure that this alignment is followed when we iterate over these structures, otherwise we may crash on platforms whose natural alignment is not sizeof(void *), such as m68k.
