Add "read-mostly" qualifier to irq_stack_ptr and
irq_shadow_call_stack_ptr. This is to prevent the false sharing.
Before the patch, I got below percpu layout with one defconfig:
ffffffc008723050 <mde_ref_count>:
ffffffc008723050: 00 00 00 00
....
ffffffc008723054 <kde_ref_count>:
ffffffc008723054: 00 00 00 00
....
ffffffc008723058 <irq_stack_ptr>:
...
ffffffc008723060 <nmi_contexts>:
...
ffffffc008723070 <fpsimd_last_state>:
As can be seen, the irq_stack_ptr sits with the heavy read/write percpu
vars such as fpsimd_last_state etc. at the same cacheline.
After the patch:
ffffffc008723000 <irq_stack_ptr>:
...
ffffffc008723008 <cpu_number>:
...
ffffffc008723010 <arm64_ssbd_callback_required>:
...
ffffffc008723018 <bp_hardening_data>:
...
Now, the irq_stack_ptr sits with read mostly percpu vars such as
cpu_number etc. at the same cacheline.
