Assign 'struct kern_ipc_perm' its own cacheline to avoid false sharing
with sysv ipc calls.
While the structure itself is rather read-mostly throughout the lifespan
of ipc, the spinlock causes most of the invalidations. One example is
commit 31a7c4746e9 ("ipc/sem.c: cacheline align the ipc spinlock for
semaphores"). Therefore, extend this to all ipc.
The effect of cacheline alignment on sems can be seen in sembench, which
deals mostly with semtimedop wait/wakes is seen to improve raw
throughput (worker loops) between 8 to 12% on a 24-core x86 with over 4
threads.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
