From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Runtime constify the read-only after init data __futex_shift(shift_32), __futex_mask(mask_32), and __futex_queues(ptr) used in __futex_hash() hot path to avoid referencing global variable. This also allows __futex_queues to be allocated dynamically to "nr_node_ids" slots instead of reserving config dependent MAX_NUMNODES (1 << CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT) worth of slots upfront. Runtime constants are initialized before their first access and runtime_const_init() provides necessary barrier to ensure subsequent accesses are not reordered against their initialization. No functional changes intended. [ prateek: Dynamically allocate __futex_queues, mark the global data __ro_after_init since they are constified after futex_init(). ] Link: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected] Reported-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email protected]> # MAX_NUMNODES bloat Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Charlie Jenkins <[email protected]> Tested-by: Charlie Jenkins <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: K Prateek Nayak <[email protected]> --- changelog v5..v6: o Picked up tags from Charlie. (Thanks a ton!) o Picked up Peter's S-o-b from his tree. o Added a barrier after runtime_const_init() after to prevent compilers from re-ordering a later runtime const usage in the init function with their initialization.
