From 329c8d84ca1946c037d9859dc251b56d8b1b4630 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:27:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] time: SMP friendly alignment of struct clocksource struct clocksource is a critical data structure. Most of its fields are read only, some of them are heavily modified at each timer interrupt. It makes sense to separate those fields and make sure they all share one cache line, or at least the minimum for machines with small cache lines.
