[PATCH 4.9 021/102] jiffies.h: declare jiffies and jiffies_64 with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7c30f352c852bae2715ad65ac4a38ca9af7d7696 upstream.

jiffies_64 is defined in kernel/time/timer.c with
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp, however this macro is not part of the
declaration of jiffies and jiffies_64 in jiffies.h.

As a result clang generates the following warning:

  kernel/time/timer.c:57:26: error: section does not match previous declaration [-Werror,-Wsection]
  __visible u64 jiffies_64 __cacheline_aligned_in_smp = INITIAL_JIFFIES;
                           ^
  include/linux/cache.h:39:36: note: expanded from macro '__cacheline_aligned_in_smp'
                                     ^
  include/linux/cache.h:34:4: note: expanded from macro '__cacheline_aligned'
                   __section__(".data..cacheline_aligned")))
                   ^
  include/linux/jiffies.h:77:12: note: previous attribute is here
  extern u64 __jiffy_data jiffies_64;
             ^
  include/linux/jiffies.h:70:38: note: expanded from macro '__jiffy_data'
