With this 'struct map' uses a bit over 3 cachelines: $ pahole -C map ~/bin/perf <SNIP> /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ u64 (*unmap_ip)(struct map *, u64); /* 128 8 */ struct dso * dso; /* 136 8 */ refcount_t refcnt; /* 144 4 */ /* size: 152, cachelines: 3, members: 18 */ /* sum members: 145, holes: 1, sum holes: 3 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* forced alignments: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); $ We probably can move map->map/unmap_ip() moved to 'struct map_groups', that will shave more 16 bytes, getting this almost to two cachelines.

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 Restructured Text 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.
