The patch titled
Subject: task_struct: only use anon struct under randstruct plugin
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
task_struct-only-use-anon-struct-under-randstruct-plugin.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: task_struct: only use anon struct under randstruct plugin
The original intent for always adding the anonymous struct in task_struct
was to make sure we had compiler coverage. However, this caused
pathological padding of 40 bytes at the start of task_struct. Instead,
move the anonymous struct to being only used when struct layout
randomization is enabled.
