as reported in bug #201339 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201339)
by enabling X86_VSMP, INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES's definition differs from the
default one
causing the struct size to exceed the size ok 8KB.
in order to avoid such issue, increse PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE to 64KB if
CONFIG_X86_VSMP is set.
the value was caculated on linux 4.20.3, make allmodconfig all and the
following oneliner:
for f in `find -name *.ko`; do echo $f; readelf -S $f |grep perc; done |grep
data..percpu -B 1 |grep ko |while read r; do echo -n "$r: "; objdump --syms
--section=.data..percpu $r|grep data |sort -n |awk '{c++; d=strtonum("0x" $1)
+ strtonum("0x" $5); if (m < d) m = d;} END {printf("%d vars-> last addr 0x%x (
%d )\n", c, m, m)}' ; done |column -t |sort -k 8 -n | awk '{print $8}'| paste
-sd+ | bc
