    kmemleak reports this issue:
    
      unreferenced object 0xffff888009cedc00 (size 256):
        comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294693823 (age 73.764s)

        backtrace:
          msr_build_context (include/linux/slab.h:621)
          pm_check_save_msr (arch/x86/power/cpu.c:520)
          do_one_initcall (init/main.c:1298)

          kernel_init (init/main.c:1504)
          ret_from_fork (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:304)
    
    Reproducer:
    
      - boot the VM with a debug kernel config (see
        https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/268)
      - wait ~1 minute
      - start a kmemleak scan
    
    The root cause here is alignment within the packed struct saved_context
    (from suspend_64.h). Kmemleak only searches for pointers that are
    aligned (see how pointers are scanned in kmemleak.c), but pahole shows
    that the saved_msrs struct member and all members after it in the
    structure are unaligned:
    
      struct saved_context {
        struct pt_regs             regs;                 /*     0   168 */
        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
        u16                        ds;                   /*   168     2 */
    
        ...
    
        u64                        misc_enable;          /*   232     8 */
        bool                       misc_enable_saved;    /*   240     1 */
    
       /* Note below odd offset values for the remainder of this struct */
    
        struct saved_msrs          saved_msrs;           /*   241    16 */
        /* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) was 1 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          efer;                 /*   257     8 */
        u16                        gdt_pad;              /*   265     2 */
        struct desc_ptr            gdt_desc;             /*   267    10 */
        u16                        idt_pad;              /*   277     2 */
        struct desc_ptr            idt;                  /*   279    10 */
        u16                        ldt;                  /*   289     2 */
        u16                        tss;                  /*   291     2 */
        long unsigned int          tr;                   /*   293     8 */
        long unsigned int          safety;               /*   301     8 */
        long unsigned int          return_address;       /*   309     8 */
    
        /* size: 317, cachelines: 5, members: 25 */
        /* last cacheline: 61 bytes */
      } __attribute__((__packed__));
    
    Move misc_enable_saved to the end of the struct declaration so that
    saved_msrs fits in before the cacheline 4 boundary.
    
    The comment above the saved_context declaration says to fix wakeup_64.S
    file and __save/__restore_processor_state() if the struct is modified:
    it looks like all the accesses in wakeup_64.S are done through offsets
    which are computed at build-time. Update that comment accordingly.
    
    At the end, the false positive kmemleak report is due to a limitation
    from kmemleak but it is always good to avoid unaligned members for
    optimisation purposes.
    
    Please note that it looks like this issue is not new, e.g.
