It's been a long time since anyone has looked at what struct tty_struct looks like in memory, turns out there was a ton of holes. So move things around a bit, change one variable (closing) from being an int to a bool (it is only being tested for 0/1), and we end up saving 40 bytes per structure overall on x86-64 systems. Before this patch: /* size: 696, cachelines: 11, members: 37 */ /* sum members: 665, holes: 8, sum holes: 31 */ /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 56 bytes */ After this change: /* size: 656, cachelines: 11, members: 37 */ /* sum members: 654, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* forced alignments: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2023082519-cobbler-unholy-8d1f@gregkh Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
