powerpc/nx: Don't pack struct coprocessor_request_block
Building with W=1 results in the following warning: In file included from arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/vas-fault.c:16: ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/icswx.h:159:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct coprocessor_request_block’ is less than 16 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned] 159 | } __packed; | ^ ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/icswx.h:159:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct coprocessor_request_block’ is less than 16 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned] ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/icswx.h:159:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct coprocessor_request_block’ is less than 16 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned] ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/icswx.h:159:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct coprocessor_request_block’ is less than 16 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors This happens because coprocessor_request_block includes several sub-structures with an alignment specified using the __aligned(XX) attribute. The problem comes from coprocessor_request_block having the __packed attribute. Packing the structure causes the preferred alignment of the nested structures to be ignored and we get the warnings as a result. This isn't a problem in practice since the struct is defined with explicit padding in the form of reserved fields, but we'd like to get rid of the spurious warnings. The simplest solution is to remove the packed attribute and use a BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure the struct is the correct (expected by HW) size compile time. Also add a __aligned(128) to the request block structure since Book4 for P8 suggests the HW requires it to be aligned to a 128 byte boundary. There's a similar requirement for P9 since the COPY and PASTE instructions used to invoke VAS/NX accelerators operates on a cache line boundary.
