This prevents false sharing, which makes a large difference on machines with several NUMA nodes, such as on a dual socket Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6338 CPU @ 2.00GHz, where the "bench-multi" test goes from 2.7s down to 1.9s. While this is just test code, it also forms the basis of how folks will wind up implementing this in libraries, so we should implement this simple cache alignment improvement here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
