perf_events: Fix perf_event_attr layout
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The miss-alignment of bp_addr created a 32bit hole, causing
different structure packings on 32 and 64 bit machines.

Fix that by moving __reserve_2 into that hole.

Further, remove the useless struct and redundant __bp_reserve
muck.
