From: Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de
The tee_ioctl_object_invoke_arg structure has padding on some architectures but not on x86-32 and a few others:
include/linux/tee.h:474:32: error: padding struct to align 'params' [-Werror=padded]
I expect that all current users of this are on architectures that do have implicit padding here (arm64, arm, x86, riscv), so make the padding explicit in order to avoid surprises if this later gets used elsewhere.
Fixes: d5b8b0fa1775 ("tee: add TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF") Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de --- The new interface showed up in 6.18, but I only came across this after that was released. Changing it now is technically an ABI change on architectures with unusual padding rules, so please consider carefully whether we want to do it this way or not.
Working around the ABI differences without an ABI change is possible, but adds a lot of complexity for compat handling. --- include/uapi/linux/tee.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
