From 8369744fc4418743d3d84a8490d576e3dbf01594 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:59:38 -0800 Subject: include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: make readmostly section correctly align The readmostly section should end at a cacheline aligned address, otherwise the last several data might share cachline with other data and make the readmostly data still have cache bounce. For example, in ia64, secpath_cachep is the last readmostly data, and it shares cacheline with init_uts_ns. a000000100e80480 d secpath_cachep a000000100e80488 D init_uts_ns Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Cc: "H.
