I use pahole to read vmlinux.o directly with defconfig and
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, the result shows 22 structs prefixed with
trace_event_raw_ that have at least one hole.
Command:
# structs have at least one hole and can be packed
pahole vmlinux.o -H 1 -R -P -y trace_event_raw_ > output.txt
# details (result includes above)
pahole vmlinux.o -H 1 -y trace_event_raw_ > output_detail.txt
Here is the lists (>= 1 hole and can be packed, #1 size, #2 ):
trace_event_raw_mm_shrink_slab_start 80 72 8
trace_event_raw_mm_shrink_slab_end 64 56 8
trace_event_raw_percpu_alloc_percpu 56 48 8
trace_event_raw_writeback_inode_template 48 40 8
trace_event_raw_filelock_lock 88 80 8
trace_event_raw_iomap_apply 72 64 8

trace_event_raw_nfs_rename_event_done 56 48 8
trace_event_raw_nfs4_rename 56 48 8
trace_event_raw_net_dev_start_xmit 72 64 8
trace_event_raw_net_dev_rx_verbose_template 88 72 16
trace_event_raw_tcp_probe 120 112 8
trace_event_raw_qdisc_dequeue 64 56 8
trace_event_raw_rpc_xdr_alignment 88 80 8
trace_event_raw_rdev_return_int_mesh_config 108 104 4
trace_event_raw_rdev_update_mesh_config 128 120 8
trace_event_raw_rdev_get_ftm_responder_stats 120 112 8
trace_event_raw_drv_bss_info_changed 184 168 16
trace_event_raw_drv_ampdu_action 88 80 8
trace_event_raw_drv_tdls_recv_channel_switch 112 104 8
Here is the detail (net_dev_start_xmit as example):
struct trace_event_raw_net_dev_start_xmit {
struct trace_entry ent; /* 0 8 */
u32 __data_loc_name; /* 8 4 */
u16 queue_mapping; /* 12 2 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
const void * skbaddr; /* 16 8 */
bool vlan_tagged; /* 24 1 */
/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */
u16 vlan_proto; /* 26 2 */
u16 vlan_tci; /* 28 2 */
u16 protocol; /* 30 2 */
u8 ip_summed; /* 32 1 */
/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
unsigned int len; /* 36 4 */
unsigned int data_len; /* 40 4 */
int network_offset; /* 44 4 */
bool transport_offset_valid; /* 48 1 */
/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
int transport_offset; /* 52 4 */
u8 tx_flags; /* 56 1 */
/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */
u16 gso_size; /* 58 2 */
u16 gso_segs; /* 60 2 */
u16 gso_type; /* 62 2 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
unsigned int net_inum; /* 64 4 */
char __data[]; /* 68 0 */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */
/* sum members: 58, holes: 5, sum holes: 10 */
/* padding: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
pahole shows there are 5 holes with 10 bytes in net_dev_start_xmit event.
