Description:
The kernel's this_cpu
operations are meant to speed access to per-CPU variables. They are
more optimal on some CPUs than others, though. During a memory-management-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit , Yang Shi proposed a fundamental, and somewhat controversial, change to how these operations
work in order to provide better performance on a wider range of architectures.
