Eric Dumazet cc95a07fef x86/apic: Reduce cache line misses in __x2apic_send_IPI_mask()
Using per-cpu storage for @x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid is not optimal.

Broadcast IPI will need at least one cache line per cpu to access this
field.

__x2apic_send_IPI_mask() is using standard bitmask operators.

By converting x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid to an array, we divide by 16x
number of needed cache lines, because we find 16 values per cache
line. CPU prefetcher can kick nicely.

Also move @cluster_masks to READ_MOSTLY section to avoid false sharing.

Tested on a dual socket host with 256 cpus, cost for a full broadcast
is now 11 usec instead of 33 usec.

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.
