bpf - add a bunch of static asserts on size/alignment of struct field types
It really turns out that till now we've just been lucky to not have ever used a 64-bit type. See also discussion on: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69560 (and other places on the internet) Bug: 190519702 Test: atest, TreeHugger Signed-off-by: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Change-Id: Ibe74a6f97bdbba490a7848060d07dc3efcee0e68

+ * The bpf_{map,prog}_def structures are compiled for different architectures.
+ * Once by the BPF compiler for the BPF architecture, and once by a C++
+ * compiler for the native Android architecture for the bpfloader.
+ *
+ * For things to work, their layout must be the same between the two.
+ * The BPF architecture is platform independent ('64-bit LSB bpf').
+ * So this effectively means these structures must be the same layout
+ * on 5 architectures, all of them little endian:
+ * 64-bit BPF, x86_64, arm and 32-bit x86 and arm
+ *
+ * As such for any types we use inside of these structs we must make sure that
+ * the size and alignment are the same, so the same amount of padding is used.
+ *
+ * Currently we only use: bool, enum bpf_map_type and unsigned int.
+ * Additionally we use char for padding.
+ *
+ * !!! WARNING: HERE BE DRAGONS !!!
+ *
+ * Be particularly careful with 64-bit integers.
+ * You will need to manually override their alignment to 8 bytes.
+ *
+ * To quote some parts of https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69560
+ *
+ * Some types have weaker alignment requirements when they are structure members.
+ *
+ * unsigned long long on x86 is such a type.
+ *
+ * C distinguishes C11 _Alignof (the minimum alignment the type is guaranteed
+ * to have in all contexts, so 4, see min_align_of_type) from GNU C __alignof
+ * (the normal alignment of the type, so 8).
+ *
+ * alignof / _Alignof == minimum alignment required by target ABI
+ * __alignof / __alignof__ == preferred alignment
+ *
+ * When in a struct, apparently the minimum alignment is used.
