Subject: Update cacheline size on X86_GENERIC
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 13:14:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081009171453.GA15321@redhat.com> (raw)
I just noticed that configuring a kernel to use CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
(as is typical for a distro kernel) configures it to use a 128 byte cacheline size.
This made sense when that was commonplace (P4 era) but current
Intel, AMD and VIA cpus use 64 byte cachelines.
