11 * Base implementations of per-CPU variable declarations and definitions, where
12 * the section in which the variable is to be placed is provided by the
13 * 'section' argument. This may be used to affect the parameters governing the
14 * variable's storage.
16 * NOTE! The sections for the DECLARE and for the DEFINE must match, lest
17 * linkage errors occur due the compiler generating the wrong code to access
18 * that section.

51 * Declaration/definition used for per-CPU variables that must be cacheline
52 * aligned under SMP conditions so that, whilst a particular instance of the
53 * data corresponds to a particular CPU, inefficiencies due to direct access by
54 * other CPUs are reduced by preventing the data from unnecessarily spanning
55 * cachelines.
57 * An example of this would be statistical data, where each CPU's set of data
58 * is updated by that CPU alone, but the data from across all CPUs is collated
59 * by a CPU processing a read from a proc file.
