Liam R. Howlett 723e1e8b77 mm/vma.h: optimise vma_munmap_struct
The vma_munmap_struct has a hole of 4 bytes and pushes the struct to three
cachelines.  Relocating the three booleans upwards allows for the struct
to only use two cachelines (as reported by pahole on amd64).

Before:
struct vma_munmap_struct {
        struct vma_iterator *      vmi;                  /*     0     8 */
        struct vm_area_struct *    vma;                  /*     8     8 */
        struct vm_area_struct *    prev;                 /*    16     8 */
        struct vm_area_struct *    next;                 /*    24     8 */
        struct list_head *         uf;                   /*    32     8 */
        long unsigned int          start;                /*    40     8 */
        long unsigned int          end;                  /*    48     8 */
        long unsigned int          unmap_start;          /*    56     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        long unsigned int          unmap_end;            /*    64     8 */
        int                        vma_count;            /*    72     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        long unsigned int          nr_pages;             /*    80     8 */
        long unsigned int          locked_vm;            /*    88     8 */
        long unsigned int          nr_accounted;         /*    96     8 */
        long unsigned int          exec_vm;              /*   104     8 */
        long unsigned int          stack_vm;             /*   112     8 */
        long unsigned int          data_vm;              /*   120     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
        bool                       unlock;               /*   128     1 */
        bool                       clear_ptes;           /*   129     1 */
        bool                       closed_vm_ops;        /*   130     1 */

        /* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 19 */
        /* sum members: 127, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
        /* padding: 5 */
        /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

After:
struct vma_munmap_struct {
        struct vma_iterator *      vmi;                  /*     0     8 */
        struct vm_area_struct *    vma;                  /*     8     8 */
        struct vm_area_struct *    prev;                 /*    16     8 */
        struct vm_area_struct *    next;                 /*    24     8 */
        struct list_head *         uf;                   /*    32     8 */
        long unsigned int          start;                /*    40     8 */
        long unsigned int          end;                  /*    48     8 */
        long unsigned int          unmap_start;          /*    56     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        long unsigned int          unmap_end;            /*    64     8 */
        int                        vma_count;            /*    72     4 */
        bool                       unlock;               /*    76     1 */
        bool                       clear_ptes;           /*    77     1 */
        bool                       closed_vm_ops;        /*    78     1 */

        /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

        long unsigned int          nr_pages;             /*    80     8 */
        long unsigned int          locked_vm;            /*    88     8 */
        long unsigned int          nr_accounted;         /*    96     8 */
        long unsigned int          exec_vm;              /*   104     8 */
        long unsigned int          stack_vm;             /*   112     8 */
        long unsigned int          data_vm;              /*   120     8 */

        /* size: 128, cachelines: 2, members: 19 */
        /* sum members: 127, holes: 1, sum holes: 1 */
};

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
