Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Store reg field within struct clocksource
Since 'struct clocksource' is ____cacheline_aligned, gcc must insert
a lot of padding between reg and clksrc in 'struct clocksource_mmio'
(for example, L1_CACHE_BYTES = 64 on ARMv7).
Storing reg within 'struct clocksource' removes unnecessary padding,
and reg can then be grouped with other hot data. A nice side-effect
of this patch is making container_of() unnecessary, which makes the
code a bit simpler.
On 32-bit platforms, reg fits in the padding between read and mask,
meaning no downside from storing it there.
0 4 8
+----------------+----------------+
| read | pad/reg |
+----------------+----------------+
| mask |
+----------------+----------------+
| mult | shift |
+----------------+----------------+
| max_idle_ns |
+----------------+----------------+
On 64-bit platforms, placing reg between read and mask changes the
layout, moving max_idle_ns to offset +32 instead of +24.
