From 58268b97f679108d32a882a7fc029585da801975 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 18:40:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
