Yu Ma 3a6358c0db percpu-internal/pcpu_chunk: re-layout pcpu_chunk structure to reduce false sharing
When running UnixBench/Execl throughput case, false sharing is observed
due to frequent read on base_addr and write on free_bytes, chunk_md.

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.

Call trace from perf is as below:
+   57.15%  0.01%  execl   [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __percpu_counter_init
+   57.13%  0.91%  execl   [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pcpu_alloc
-   55.27% 54.51%  execl   [kernel.kallsyms] [k] osq_lock
   - 53.54% 0x654278696e552f34
        main
        __execve
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
        do_syscall_64
        __x64_sys_execve
        do_execveat_common.isra.47
        alloc_bprm
        mm_init
        __percpu_counter_init
        pcpu_alloc
      - __mutex_lock.isra.17

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.

With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on
v6.4-rc4, the 160 parallel score improves by 24%.

The pcpu_chunk struct is a backing data structure per chunk, so the
additional memory should not be dramatic.  A chunk covers ballpark
between 64kb and 512kb memory depending on some config and boot time
stuff, so I believe the additional memory used here is nominal at best.

Working the #s on my desktop:
Percpu:            58624 kB
28 cores -> ~2.1MB of percpu memory.
At say ~128KB per chunk -> 33 chunks, generously 40 chunks.
Adding alignment might bump the chunk size ~64 bytes, so in total ~2KB
of overhead?

I believe we can do a little better to avoid eating that full padding,
so likely less than that.
