From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> v4.14.172-rt78-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ----------- [ Upstream commit dd430bf5ecb40f9a89679c85868826475d71de54 ] The migrate_disable counter should not exceed 255 so it is enough to store it in an 8bit field. With this change we can move the `preempt_lazy_count' member into the gap so the whole struct shrinks by 4 bytes to 12 bytes in total. Remove the `padding' field, it is not needed. Update the tracing fields in trace_define_common_fields() (it was missing the preempt_lazy_count field).
