Hi All,
In our project we have a module, which will copy linux_mib structure to the userland. In userland I have constructed a similar structure to copy the values. If I try to use ____cacheline_aligned in the userland structure i get a compilation error. I am using Redhat Linux 8 with kernel version 2.4.18. The same code worked in earlier versions of Redhat Linux. I tried a sample program and have pasted it here
//ct.c
#include <linux/cache.h>
struct test
{
int a;
}____cacheline_aligned;
int main()
{
return 0;
}
I tried compiling the above as follows
gcc ct.c
I get the following compilation error
ct.c:6: `CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT' undeclared here (not in a function)
ct.c:6: requested alignment is not a constant
Where I have went wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Mohan.
