Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: Move x86_cpu_to_apicid to the __read_mostly section
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:29:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201204241429.54089.vlad@scalemp.com> (raw)

From: Shai Fultheim <shai@scalemp.com>

x86_cpu_to_apicid is only written to during initialization. Benchmarks
show that moving it to the __read_mostly section helps avoid false
sharing on large multiprocessing systems.
