From 0a2a18b721abc960fbcada406746877d22340a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 23:37:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86: change the default cache size to 64 bytes Right now the generic cacheline size is 128 bytes - that is wasteful when structures are aligned, as all modern x86 CPUs have an (effective) cacheline sizes of 64 bytes. It was set to 128 bytes due to some cacheline aliasing problems on older P4 systems, but those are many years old and we dont optimize for them anymore. (They'll still get the 128 bytes cacheline size if the kernel is specifically built for Pentium 4) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven --- arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu b/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu index 8078955845ae..cdf4a9623237 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu @@ -307,10 +307,10 @@ config X86_CMPXCHG config X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT int - default "7" if MPENTIUM4 || X86_GENERIC || GENERIC_CPU || MPSC + default "7" if MPENTIUM4 || MPSC default "4" if X86_ELAN || M486 || M386 || MGEODEGX1 default "5" if MWINCHIP3D || MWINCHIPC6 || MCRUSOE || MEFFICEON || MCYRIXIII || MK6 || MPENTIUMIII || MPENTIUMII || M686 || M586MMX || M586TSC || M586 || MVIAC3_2 || MGEODE_LX - default "6" if MK7 || MK8 || MPENTIUMM || MCORE2 || MVIAC7 + default "6" if MK7 || MK8 || MPENTIUMM || MCORE2 || MVIAC7 || X86_GENERIC || GENERIC_CPU config X86_XADD def_bool y
