I think what Florian was after would be:

struct ptrace_rseq_configuration {
	__u32 size;  /* size of struct ptrace_rseq_configuration */
	__u32 flags;
	__u64 rseq_abi_pointer;
	__u32 signature;
	__u32 pad;
};

where:

    .size = sizeof(struct ptrace_rseq_configuration),

This way, the configuration structure can be expanded in the future. The
rseq ABI structure is by definition fixed-size, so there is no point in
having its size here.

Florian, did I understand your request correctly, or am I missing your point ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
