From 8e2a7f5b9a8c49f1f4e1dc8972198510f43c0b2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kostenzer Felix Date: Sun, 6 Mar 2016 23:20:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/nmi: Mark 'ignore_nmis' as __read_mostly ignore_nmis is used in two distinct places: 1. modified through {stop,restart}_nmi by alternative_instructions 2. read by do_nmi to determine if default_do_nmi should be called or not thus the access pattern conforms to __read_mostly and do_nmi() is a fastpath.
