Subject: [PATCH] s390: add read_mostly optimization
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=58268b97f679108d32a882a7fc029585da801975;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] s390: add read_mostly optimization

Add a read_mostly section and define __read_mostly to prevent cache line
pollution due to writes for mostly read variables.  In addition fix the
incorrect alignment of the cache_line_aligned data section.  s390 has a
cacheline size of 256 bytes.
