Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86,percpu: fix DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED()
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:10:11 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A767133.1030207@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LFD.2.01.0908021913130.3352@localhost.localdomain>

DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() put percpu variables in
.page_aligned section without adding any alignment restrictions.
Currently, this doesn't cause any problem because all users of the
macros have explicit page alignment and page-sized but it's much safer
to enforce page alignment from the macros.  After all, it's what they
claim to do.

Add __aligned(PAGE_SIZE) to DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() and
drop explicit alignment from it users.

This doesn't cause any problem for the current tree.  No need to push
it hastily.
