From ab2bb9c084f7e3b641ceba91efc33b3adcd1846e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gerst Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2025 11:52:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] percpu: Introduce percpu hot section Add a subsection to the percpu data for frequently accessed variables that should remain cached on each processor. These varables should not be accessed from other processors to avoid cacheline bouncing. This will replace the pcpu_hot struct on x86, and open up similar functionality to other architectures and the kernel core.
