From e1783a240f491fb233f04edc042e16b18a7a79ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 15:34:50 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] module: Use this_cpu_xx to dynamically allocate counters Use cpu ops to deal with the per cpu data instead of a local_t. Reduces memory requirements, cache footprint and decreases cycle counts. The this_cpu_xx operations are also used for !SMP mode. Otherwise we could not drop the use of __module_ref_addr() which would make per cpu data handling complicated. this_cpu_xx operations have their own fallback for !SMP. V8-V9: - Leave include asm/module.h since ringbuffer.c depends on it. Nothing else does though. Another patch will deal with that. - Remove spurious free.
