From: Shaohua Li Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 03:07:02 +0000 (+0800) Subject: percpu: Introduce a read-mostly percpu API X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc1~203^2~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f;p=pandora-kernel.git percpu: Introduce a read-mostly percpu API Add a new readmostly percpu section and API. This can be used to avoid dirtying data lines which are generally not written to, which is especially important for data which may be accessed by processors other than the one for which the percpu area belongs to. [ hpa: moved it *after* the page-aligned section, for obvious reasons. ] Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li LKML-Reference: <1287544022.4571.7.camel@sli10-conroe.sh.intel.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: H.
