From 0816b0f0365539c8f6280634d2c1778d0108d8f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Zolotarov Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:56:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add read_mostly declaration/definition to variables from smp.h Add "read-mostly" qualifier to the following variables in smp.h: - cpu_sibling_map - cpu_core_map - cpu_llc_shared_map - cpu_llc_id - cpu_number - x86_cpu_to_apicid - x86_bios_cpu_apicid - x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid As long as all the variables above are only written during the initialization, this change is meant to prevent the false sharing. More specifically, on vSMP Foundation platform x86_cpu_to_apicid shared the same internode_cache_line with frequently written lapic_events. From the analysis of the first 33 per_cpu variables out of 219 (memories they describe, to be more specific) the 8 have read_mostly nature (tlb_vector_offset, cpu_loops_per_jiffy, xen_debug_irq, etc.) and 25 are frequently written (irq_stack_union, gdt_page, exception_stacks, idt_desc, etc.). Assuming that the spread of the rest of the per_cpu variables is similar, identifying the read mostly memories will make more sense in terms of long-term code maintenance comparing to identifying frequently written memories.
