To avoid include hell, the per_cpu variable printk_func was declared
in percpu.h. But it is only defined if printk is defined.

As users of printk may also use the printk_func variable, it needs to
be defined even if CONFIG_PRINTK is not.

Also add a printk.h include in percpu.h just to be safe.

<title>printk: Add per_cpu printk func to allow printk to be diverted</title>

Being able to divert printk to call another function besides the normal
logging is useful for such things like NMI handling. If some functions
are to be called from NMI that does printk() it is possible to lock up
the box if the nmi handler triggers when another printk is happening.

One example of this use is to perform a stack trace on all CPUs via NMI.
But if the NMI is to do the printk() it can cause the system to lock up.
By allowing the printk to be diverted to another function that can safely
record the printk output and then print it when it in a safe context
then NMIs will be safe to call these functions like show_regs().

<title>percpu: implement asynchronous chunk population</title>

The percpu allocator now supports atomic allocations by only
allocating from already populated areas but the mechanism to ensure
that there's adequate amount of populated areas was missing.

This patch expands pcpu_balance_work so that in addition to freeing
excess free chunks it also populates chunks to maintain an adequate
level of populated areas.  pcpu_alloc() schedules pcpu_balance_work if
the amount of free populated areas is too low or after an atomic
allocation failure.

* PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE is increased by two pages to account for
  PCPU_EMPTY_POP_PAGES_LOW.

* pcpu_async_enabled is added to gate both async jobs -
  chunk-&gt;map_extend_work and pcpu_balance_work - so that we don't end
  up scheduling them while the needed subsystems aren't up yet.

<content type='text'>
Now that pcpu_alloc_area() can allocate only from populated areas,
it's easy to add atomic allocation support to [__]alloc_percpu().
Update pcpu_alloc() so that it accepts @gfp and skips all the blocking
operations and allocates only from the populated areas if @gfp doesn't
contain GFP_KERNEL.  New interface functions [__]alloc_percpu_gfp()
are added.

While this means that atomic allocations are possible, this isn't
complete yet as there's no mechanism to ensure that certain amount of
populated areas is kept available and atomic allocations may keep
failing under certain conditions.

We're in the process of moving all percpu accessors and operations to
include/linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're available to arch headers
without having to include full include/linux/percpu.h which may cause
cyclic inclusion dependency.

This patch moves {raw|this}_cpu_*() definitions from
include/linux/percpu.h to include/linux/percpu-defs.h.  The code is
moved mostly verbatim; however, raw_cpu_*() are placed above
this_cpu_*() which is more conventional as the raw operations may be
used to defined other variants.

This is pure reorganization.

<title>percpu: only allow sized arch overrides for {raw|this}_cpu_*() ops</title>

<id>dcba4333683c3a0642fd575e475c6c740122a037</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, percpu allows two separate methods for overriding
{raw|this}_cpu_*() ops - for a given operation, an arch can provide
whole replacement or sized sub operations to override specific parts
of it.  e.g. arch either can provide this_cpu_add() or
this_cpu_add_4() to override only the 4 byte operation.

While quite flexible on a glance, the dual-overriding scheme
complicates the code path for no actual gain.  It compilcates the
already complex operation definitions and if an arch wants to override
all sizes, it can easily provide all variants anyway.  In fact, no
arch is actually making use of whole operation override.

Another oddity is that __this_cpu_*() operations are defined in the
same way as raw_cpu_*() but ignores full overrides of the raw_cpu_*()
and doesn't allow full operation override, so if an arch provides
whole overrides for raw_cpu_*() operations __this_cpu_*() ends up
using the generic implementations.

More importantly, it takes away the layering between arch-specific and
generic parts making it impossible for the generic part to implement
arch-independent features on top of arch-specific overrides.

This patch removes the support for whole operation overrides.  As no
arch is using it, this doesn't cause any actual difference.
