sched/core: Force proper alignment of 'struct util_est'
For some as yet not understood reason, Tony gets unaligned access
traps on IA64 because of:
struct util_est ue = READ_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est);
and:
WRITE_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est, ue);
introduced by commit:
d519329f72a6 ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")
Normally those two fields should end up on an 8-byte aligned location,
but UP and RANDSTRUCT can mess that up so enforce the alignment
explicitly.
Also make the alignment on sched_avg unconditional, as it is really
about data locality, not false-sharing.
With or without this patch the layout for sched_avg on a
ia64-defconfig build looks like:
$ pahole -EC sched_avg ia64-defconfig/kernel/sched/core.o
die__process_function: tag not supported (INVALID)!
struct sched_avg {
/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int last_update_time; /* 0 8 */
/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int load_sum; /* 8 8 */
/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int runnable_load_sum; /* 16 8 */
/* typedef u32 */ unsigned int util_sum; /* 24 4 */
/* typedef u32 */ unsigned int period_contrib; /* 28 4 */
long unsigned int load_avg; /* 32 8 */
long unsigned int runnable_load_avg; /* 40 8 */
long unsigned int util_avg; /* 48 8 */
struct util_est {
unsigned int enqueued; /* 56 4 */
unsigned int ewma; /* 60 4 */
} util_est; /* 56 8 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
};
