Fix: liblttng-ctl: ABI-breaking size change of lttng_session struct
abidiff reports that the size of struct lttng_session has changed
since 2.10:
[C]'function int lttng_list_sessions(lttng_session**)' at lttng-ctl.c:2065:1 has some indirect sub-type changes:
parameter 1 of type 'lttng_session**' has sub-type changes:
in pointed to type 'lttng_session*':
in pointed to type 'struct lttng_session' at session.h:38:1:
type size changed from 35008 to 35072 (in bits)
1 data member deletion:
'char lttng_session::padding[12]', at offset 34912 (in bits) at session.h:50:1
1 data member insertion:
'union {char padding[12]; void* ptr;} lttng_session::extended', at offset 34944 (in bits) at session.h:57:1
The offset after the 'live_timer_interval' field is aligned on 4
bytes, but not on 8 bytes. This causes some compilers (such as gcc and
clang) to align the following 'extended' union on 8 bytes, making the
overall structure larger.
To preserve the size of 'struct lttng_session', four bytes of padding
are added after 'live_timer_interval', resulting in an aligned offset
for both bitnesses.
The 'extended' union's padding is reduced from 12 to 8 bytes,
essentially ensuring that 'ptr' always occupies 8 bytes, even on
32-bit builds.
Tested on clang and gcc for x64, x86, PPC32, PPC64, ARM, ARM64,
AVR, MIPS, MIPS64, and MSVC (32-bit and 64-bit).
