On x86_64, with allmodconfig, struct uprobe_task is 72 bytes long, with a hole and some padding. /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 64, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ Reorder the structure to fill the hole and avoid the padding. This way, the whole structure fits in a single cacheline and some memory is saved when it is allocated. /* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */ /* forced alignments: 1 */ Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/a9f541d0cedf421f765c77a1fb93d6a979778a88.1730495562.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr
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.
