------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Define new percpu interface for shared data
From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively
accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared
by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely
separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared
between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the
cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu
data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both
ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to
achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.
