Put __attribute__ ((section (".data"))) into __tcp_clean_cacheline_pad and it should do what you want.
Heck, section ".bss" might give you the alignment without the allocation but I'm not as confident about that.
Well part of the issue is that the surrounding data items were moved into the .bss section. That in and of itself I have no problems with.
How, if I put the cacheline_pad into .data will it help the placement or surrounding .bss segment variables? Your suggestion really doesn't solve the problem while retaining the intention of these recent test9 changes.
