The patch titled
Mark profile notifier blocks __read_mostly
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
mark-profile-notifier-blocks-__read_mostly.patch
This patch was dropped because I've decided that _-read_mostly is the wrong way to solve this problem
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Mark profile notifier blocks __read_mostly
From: Matt Helsley <matthltc@xxxxxxxxxx>
Mark profile notifier blocks __read_mostly since once registered they tend
not to be written. This seems like a good idea but I'm not yet familiar
enough with the profile paths to be certain.
Compiles, boots, and runs with CONFIG_PROFILING=y and readprofile on a
4-way Opteron running Debian Sarge.
