It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this was the original intention. Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged. - Before the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3 - After the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 Signed-off-by: Zhengyu He Signed-off-by: Filipe Brandenburger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
