net: mark struct ip_header as QEMU_PACKED
The ip_header is not actually guaranteed to be aligned. We attempt to deal with this in some places such as net_checksum_calculate() by using stw_be_p and so on to access the fields, but this is not sufficient to be correct, because even accessing a byte member within an unaligned struct is undefined behaviour. The clang sanitizer will emit warnings like these if net_checksum_calculate() is called: Stopping network: ../../net/checksum.c:106:9: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x556aad9b502e for type 'struct ip_header', which requires 4 byte alignment 0x556aad9b502e: note: pointer points here 34 56 08 00 45 00 01 48 a5 09 40 00 40 11 7c 8b 0a 00 02 0f 0a 00 02 02 00 44 00 43 01 34 19 56 ^ SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior ../../net/checksum.c:106:9 in ../../net/checksum.c:106:9: runtime error: load of misaligned address 0x556aad9b502e for type 'uint8_t' (aka 'unsigned char'), which requires 4 byte alignment 0x556aad9b502e: note: pointer points here 34 56 08 00 45 00 01 48 a5 09 40 00 40 11 7c 8b 0a 00 02 0f 0a 00 02 02 00 44 00 43 01 34 19 56 ^ Fix this by marking the ip_header struct as QEMU_PACKED, so that the compiler knows that it might be unaligned and will generate the right code for accessing fields.
