Subject[PATCH RESEND percpu#for-next] percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline
Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce
and performance degradation.

This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
size and use it to align percpu subsections.

This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Cc: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>

Shaohua, can you please verify this achieves the same result? If no
one objects, I'll route it through the percpu tree.

Thanks.

(arch ML address was wrong, resending with the correct one)
