[patch] Additions to .data.read_mostly section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Following patch moves a few static 'read mostly' variables to the 
.data.read_mostly section.  Typically these are vector - irq tables,
boot_cpu_data, node_maps etc., which are initialized once and read from 
often and rarely written to.  Please include.

Thanks,
Kiran


Patch to mark variables which are usually accessed for reads with __readmostly.
