This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-intel- iotg/5.15.0-1052.58 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-intel-iotg' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-intel-iotg'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-intel-iotg' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-intel-iotg'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are spawned frequently to do some short jobs. It will do system call on execl frequently, and execl will call mm_init to initialize mm_struct of the process. mm_init will call __percpu_counter_init for percpu_counters initialization. Then pcpu_alloc is called to read the base_addr of pcpu_chunk for memory allocation. Inside pcpu_alloc, it will call pcpu_alloc_area to allocate memory from a specified chunk. This function will update "free_bytes" and "chunk_md" to record the rest free bytes and other meta data for this chunk. Correspondingly, pcpu_free_area will also update these 2 members when free memory. In current pcpu_chunk layout, `base_addr' is in the same cache line with `free_bytes' and `chunk_md', and `base_addr' is at the last 8 bytes. This patch moves `bound_map' up to `base_addr', to let `base_addr' locate in a new cacheline.
