From 16acc0cd8f1aac63ddf5228c5bc29cf7d31627f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zach Brown Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 21:51:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: align per-cpu section to configured cache bytes Align the start of the per-cpu section to the configured number of bytes in a cache line. This stops a BUG_ON() from triggering in load_module() when DEFINE_PER_CPU() is used in a module and the section isn't cacheline-aligned. Rusty also found this and sent a patch in a while ago (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/19/17), I don't know what came of that.
