[PATCH 03/19] vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Anna-Maria Behnsen <anna-maria@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

vdso_time_data is not cacheline aligned at the moment. When instantiating
an array, the start of the second array member is not cache line aligned.
This increases the number of the required cache lines which needs to be
read when handling e.g. CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, because the data spawns an
extra cache line if the previous data does not end at a cache line
boundary.

Therefore make struct vdso_time_data cacheline aligned.
