timer_list: remove alignment padding on 64 bit when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS
PATCH 1/1 timer_list: remove alignment padding on 64 bit when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS
Re-order structure timer_list to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on 64 bit builds when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is selected.
timer_list is widely used across the kernel so many structures will benefit and shrink in size.
For example, with my config on x86_64
per_cpu_dm_data shrinks from 136 to 128 bytes
and
ahci_port_priv shrinks from 1032 to 968 bytes.
