    Subject[patch 1/5] -fstack-protector feature: annotate the PDA offsets
    From
    Date
    Subject: [patch 1/5] Add comments to the PDA structure to annotate offsets
    From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

    Change the comments in the pda structure to make the first fields to have
    their offset documented and to have the comments aligned.
    The stack protector series needs a field at offset 40 (gcc ABI); annotate
    upto 40 for that reason.
