x86, tlb flush_data: replace per_cpu with an array
Impact: micro-optimization, memory reduction On x86_64 flush tlb data is stored in per_cpu variables. This is unnecessary because only the first NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS entries are accessed. This patch aims at making the code less confusing (there's nothing really "per_cpu") by using a plain array. It also would save some memory on most distros out there (Ubuntu x86_64 has NR_CPUS=64 by default). [ Ravikiran G Thirumalai also pointed out that the correct alignment is ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp, so that there's no bouncing on vsmp. ] Signed-off-by: Frederik Deweerdt <frederik.deweerdt@xprog.eu> Acked-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
