The pointer to the currently running timer is stored in hrtimer_cpu_base before the base lock is dropped and the callback is invoked. This results in two levels of indirections and the upcoming support for softirq based hrtimer requires splitting the "running" storage into soft and hard IRQ context expiry. Storing both in the cpu base would require conditionals in all code paths accessing that information. It's possible to have a per clock base sequence count and running pointer without changing the semantics of the related mechanisms because the timer base pointer cannot be changed while a timer is running the callback. Unfortunately this makes cpu_clock base larger than 32 bytes on 32-bit kernels. Instead of having huge gaps due to alignment, remove the alignment and let the compiler pack CPU base for 32-bit kernels. The resulting cache access patterns are fortunately not really different from the current behaviour. On 64-bit kernels the 64-byte alignment stays and the behaviour is unchanged. This was determined by analyzing the resulting layout and looking at the number of cache lines involved for the frequently used clocks.
