* 'for-3.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
  percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants

Fix up conflict in arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h due to clash with
cebef5beed3d ("x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double()")
which edited the (now removed) irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg*_double code.

We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of
preemption and interrupt state.  That has no material change for x86
and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations.  However, arches that
do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will
now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

-tj: This is part of on-going percpu API cleanup.  For detailed
     discussion of the subject, please refer to the following thread.

They had several problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the 2x32bit asm()
operands, and 2x64-bit version had a memory clobber. The first
allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the
data in case it had it cached in some register, and the second
was overly destructive.

The memory operand in the 2x32-bit asm() was declared to only be
an output.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (as in other per-CPU ops, the types of the per-CPU
variables accessed should be used here, to make sure the
respective types are compatible).

The __dummy variable was pointless (and needlessly initialized
in the 2x32-bit case), given that local copies of the inputs
already exist.

The 2x64-bit variant forced the address of the first object into
%rsi, even though this is needed only for the call to the
emulation function. The real cmpxchg16b can operate on an
memory.

At once also change the return value type to what it really is -
'bool'.

Somehow we got into a situation where the __this_cpu_xchg() operations were
not defined in the same way as this_cpu_xchg() and friends. I had some build
failures under 32 bit that were addressed by these fixes.

Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain
ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation.

For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h.

Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine
the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch.

However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where
cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later.

     of percpu_read_stable().

percpu_cmpxchg16b_double() uses alternative_io() and looks like :

e8 .. .. .. ..  call this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu
X bytes	    NOPX

or, once patched (if cpu supports native instruction) on SMP build :

65 48 0f c7 0e  cmpxchg16b %gs:(%rsi)
0f 94 c0        sete %al

on !SMP build :

48 0f c7 0e     cmpxchg16b (%rsi)
0f 94 c0        sete %al

Therefore, NOPX should be :

P6_NOP3 on SMP
P6_NOP2 on !SMP
