    core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section · 330d2822
    Zhengyu He 提交于
    This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as
    readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies
    .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu
    sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called
    data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break
    things unexpectedly.
    
    Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly
    (commit c957ef2c), it looks like this
    was the original intention.
    
    Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged.
    
    - Before the patch:
    $ objdump -h vmlinux.o  | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'
    38 .data..read_mostly 00004418  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00431ac0  2**6
    50 .data..readmostly 00000014  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00444000  2**3
    
    - After the patch:
    $ objdump -h vmlinux.o  | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'
    38 .data..read_mostly 00004438  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00431ac0  2**6
