From 63cc8c75156462d4b42cbdd76c293b7eee7ddbfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 15:44:40 +0200 Subject: percpu: introduce DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() macro While examining holes in percpu section I found this : c05f5000 D per_cpu__current_task c05f5000 D __per_cpu_start c05f5004 D per_cpu__cpu_number c05f5008 D per_cpu__irq_regs c05f500c d per_cpu__cpu_devices c05f5040 D per_cpu__cyc2ns c05f6000 d per_cpu__cpuid4_info c05f6004 d per_cpu__cache_kobject c05f6008 d per_cpu__index_kobject c05f7000 D per_cpu__gdt_page This is because gdt_page is a percpu variable, defined with a page alignement, and linker is doing its job, two times because of .o nesting in the build process. I introduced a new macro DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() to avoid wasting this space. All page aligned variables (only one at this time) are put in a separate subsection .data.percpu.page_aligned, at the very begining of percpu zone. Before patch , on a x86_32 machine : .data.percpu 30232 3227471872 .data.percpu 22168 3227471872 Thats 8064 bytes saved for each CPU.

This patch add link-time checking for this. ASSERT() of ld link script is used as the link-time checking mechanism.
