[PATCH 3/3] arm64: kernel: declare cpu_ops __read_mostly

From: Jisheng Zhang <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-10 18:19:50
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

cpu_ops is initialized once by cpu_read_ops(), and thereafter is mostly
read in hot path, such as arm_cpuidle_suspend().

The fact that it is mostly read and not written to makes it candidates
for __read_mostly declarations.
