As far as I compiled arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig,
all address-of-packed-member warnings came from the single point:
./arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h:534:30: warning: taking address of
packed member 'sp0' of class or structure 'x86_hw_tss' may result in
an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member]
return this_cpu_read_stable(cpu_tss.x86_tss.sp0);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h:391:59: note: expanded from macro
'this_cpu_read_stable'
#define this_cpu_read_stable(var) percpu_stable_op("mov", var)
^~~
./arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h:228:16: note: expanded from macro
'percpu_stable_op'
: "p" (&(var))); \
^~~
For this case, I was able to fix it with the following patch:
diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h
index 9fa0360..de25d1c 100644

} \
I'd like to see as much effort as possible
before we decide to hide this kind of warning.
Is it OK with you ?
