There are a lot of those warnings with GCC8+ 64-bit,
In file included from ./include/linux/sctp.h:42,
from net/core/skbuff.c:47:
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:395:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct
sctp_paddr_change' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]

This is because the commit 20c9c825b1
("[SCTP] Fix SCTP socket options
to work with 32-bit apps on 64-bit kernels.") added "packed, aligned(4)"
GCC attributes to some structures but one of the members, i.e, "struct
sockaddr_storage" in those structures has the attribute,
"aligned(__alignof__ (struct sockaddr *)" which is 8-byte on 64-bit
systems, so the commit overwrites the designed alignments for
"sockaddr_storage".
To fix this, "struct sockaddr_storage" needs to be aligned to 4-byte as
it is only used in those packed sctp structure which is part of UAPI,
and "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage" is used in some other
places of UAPI that need not to change alignments in order to not
breaking userspace.
Use an implicit alignment for "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage" so it
can keep the same alignments as a member in both packed and un-packed
structures without breaking UAPI.
