From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Levitsky Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2022 18:49:59 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] bug: introduce ASSERT_STRUCT_OFFSET ASSERT_STRUCT_OFFSET allows to assert during the build of the kernel that a field in a struct have an expected offset. KVM used to have such macro, but there is almost nothing KVM specific in it so move it to build_bug.h, so that it can be used in other places in KVM.
