net/socket: fix GCC8+ Wpacked-not-aligned warnings There are a lot of those warnings with GCC8+ 64-bit, In file included from ./include/linux/sctp.h:42, from net/core/skbuff.c:47: ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:395:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct sctp_paddr_change' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] } __attribute__((packed, aligned(4))); ^ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:728:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct sctp_setpeerprim' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] } __attribute__((packed, aligned(4))); ^ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:727:26: warning: 'sspp_addr' offset 4 in 'struct sctp_setpeerprim' isn't aligned to 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] struct sockaddr_storage sspp_addr; ^~~~~~~~~ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:741:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct sctp_prim' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] } __attribute__((packed, aligned(4))); ^ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:740:26: warning: 'ssp_addr' offset 4 in 'struct sctp_prim' isn't aligned to 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] struct sockaddr_storage ssp_addr; ^~~~~~~~ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:792:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct sctp_paddrparams' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] } __attribute__((packed, aligned(4))); ^ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:784:26: warning: 'spp_address' offset 4 in 'struct sctp_paddrparams' isn't aligned to 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] struct sockaddr_storage spp_address; ^~~~~~~~~~~ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:905:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct sctp_paddrinfo' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] } __attribute__((packed, aligned(4))); ^ ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:899:26: warning: 'spinfo_address' offset 4 in 'struct sctp_paddrinfo' isn't aligned to 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned] struct sockaddr_storage spinfo_address; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is because the commit 20c9c825b12f ("[SCTP] Fix SCTP socket options to work with 32-bit apps on 64-bit kernels.") added "packed, aligned(4)" GCC attributes to some structures but one of the members, i.e, "struct sockaddr_storage" in those structures has the attribute, "aligned(__alignof__ (struct sockaddr *)" which is 8-byte on 64-bit systems, so the commit overwrites the designed alignments for "sockaddr_storage". To fix this, "struct sockaddr_storage" needs to be aligned to 4-byte as it is only used in those packed sctp structure which is part of UAPI, and "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage" is used in some other places of UAPI that need not to change alignments in order to not breaking userspace. Use an implicit alignment for "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage" so it can keep the same alignments as a member in both packed and un-packed structures without breaking UAPI.
