So, this is how it shows using that __packed you have:

[acme@...enth perf]$ pahole -C hws_basic_entry ~/bin/perf
struct hws_basic_entry {
	unsigned int               def:16;               /*     0:16  4 */
	unsigned int               R:4;                  /*     0:12  4 */
	unsigned int               U:4;                  /*     0: 8  4 */
	unsigned int               z:2;                  /*     0: 6  4 */
	unsigned int               T:1;                  /*     0: 5  4 */
	unsigned int               W:1;                  /*     0: 4  4 */
	unsigned int               P:1;                  /*     0: 3  4 */
	unsigned int               AS:2;                 /*     0: 1  4 */
	unsigned int               I:1;                  /*     0: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               CL:2;                 /*     4:30  4 */
	unsigned int               prim_asn:16;          /*     4: 0  4 */

	/* XXX 14 bits hole, try to pack */

	long long unsigned int     ia;                   /*     8     8 */
	long long unsigned int     gpp;                  /*    16     8 */
	long long unsigned int     hpp;                  /*    24     8 */

	/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 14 */
	/* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 14 bits */
	/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
[acme@...enth perf]$

And:

[acme@...enth perf]$ pahole -C hws_diag_entry ~/bin/perf
struct hws_diag_entry {
	unsigned int               def:16;               /*     0:16  4 */
	unsigned int               R:15;                 /*     0: 1  4 */
	unsigned int               I:1;                  /*     0: 0  4 */
	u8                         data[0];              /*     4     0 */

	/* size: 4, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 4 bytes */
};
[acme@...enth perf]$ 

Now, if we apply this patch:

[acme@...enth perf]$ pahole -C hws_basic_entry ~/bin/perf
struct hws_basic_entry {
	unsigned int               def:16;               /*     0:16  4 */
	unsigned int               R:4;                  /*     0:12  4 */
	unsigned int               U:4;                  /*     0: 8  4 */
	unsigned int               z:2;                  /*     0: 6  4 */
	unsigned int               T:1;                  /*     0: 5  4 */
	unsigned int               W:1;                  /*     0: 4  4 */
	unsigned int               P:1;                  /*     0: 3  4 */
	unsigned int               AS:2;                 /*     0: 1  4 */
	unsigned int               I:1;                  /*     0: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               CL:2;                 /*     4:30  4 */
	unsigned int               prim_asn:16;          /*     4: 0  4 */

	/* XXX 14 bits hole, try to pack */

	long long unsigned int     ia;                   /*     8     8 */
	long long unsigned int     gpp;                  /*    16     8 */
	long long unsigned int     hpp;                  /*    24     8 */

	/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 14 */
	/* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 14 bits */
	/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
[acme@...enth perf]$ 

See, no need for packing, that old gcc version is right, and the other
struct:

[acme@...enth perf]$ pahole -C hws_diag_entry ~/bin/perf
struct hws_diag_entry {
	unsigned int               def:16;               /*     0:16  4 */
	unsigned int               R:15;                 /*     0: 1  4 */
	unsigned int               I:1;                  /*     0: 0  4 */
	u8                         data[0];              /*     4     0 */

	/* size: 4, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 4 bytes */
};
[acme@...enth perf]$

No need for __packed.

I'm removing that to avoid having this failling in compilers that have
such a warning, since we default to Werror.

Holler if there is something I'missing :-)
