Before pushing pcounter to Linus tree, I would like to make some adjustments.

Goal is to reduce kernel text size, by unlining too big functions.

When a pcounter is bound to a statically defined per_cpu variable,
we define two small helpers functions. (No more folding function
using the fat for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) ... )

static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values);
static void NAME##_pcounter_add(struct pcounter *self, int val)
{
       __get_cpu_var(NAME##_pcounter_values) += val;
}
static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter *self, int cpu)
{
       return per_cpu(NAME##_pcounter_values, cpu);
}

Fast path is therefore unchanged, while folding/alloc/free is now unlined.

This saves 228 bytes on i386

This just generalises what was introduced by Eric Dumazet for the struct proto
inuse field in 286ab3d46058840d68e5d7d52e316c1f7e98c59f:

    [NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way.

Please look at the comment in there to see the rationale.
