Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.
To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.
Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

There's nothing in percpu.h that requires an explicit inclusion of

Instead of allocating a fix sized array of NR_CPUS pointers for percpu_data,
we can use nr_cpu_ids, which is generally < NR_CPUS.

ia64 has a special processor specific mapping that can be used to locate the
offset for the current per cpu area.

- Special consideration for IA64: Add the ability to specify
arch specific per cpu flags
- remove .data.percpu attribute from DEFINE_PER_CPU for non-smp case.
The arch definitions are all the same. So move them into linux/percpu.h.
We cannot move DECLARE_PER_CPU since some include files just include
asm/percpu.h to avoid include recursion problems.

Rather than using a single constant PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM, compute it as
the sum of kernel_percpu + PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE. This is now common
to all architectures; if an architecture wants to set
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM to something special, then it may do so (ia64 is
the only one which does).

... or we'll end up with cpu_online_map being evaluated on UP. In
modules. cpumask.h is very careful to avoid that, and for a very good

This patch splits alloc_percpu() up into two phases. Likewise for
free_percpu(). This allows clients to limit initial allocations to online
cpu's, and to populate or depopulate per-cpu data at run time as needed:
struct my_struct *obj;
/* initial allocation for online cpu's */
obj = percpu_alloc(sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL);
...
/* populate per-cpu data for cpu coming online */
ptr = percpu_populate(obj, sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL, cpu);
...
/* access per-cpu object */
ptr = percpu_ptr(obj, smp_processor_id());
...
/* depopulate per-cpu data for cpu going offline */
percpu_depopulate(obj, cpu);
...
/* final removal */
percpu_free(obj);

get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple
identifiers. Otherwise the arch dependent implementations might break.
This patch enforces the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax
error if the variable is not a simple identifier.

I found that blkp field was not used in kernel tree.
As most of the times NR_CPUS is a power of two and kmalloc() memory blocks
too, this extra field basically doubles the memory space allocated in
__alloc_percpu() to store the 'struct percpu_data'
(for example, if NR_CPUS=8 on i386, kmalloc(4*8+4) returns a 64 bytes block
instead of a 32 bytes block after this patch)

__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is
completely ignored. snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to use
it, but it will be ignored. Therefore, remove the 'align' argument and fixup
the lone caller.

Currently per_cpu_ptr() doesn't really do anything with 'cpu' in the UP
case. This is problematic in the cases where this is the only place the
variable is referenced:
CC kernel/workqueue.o
kernel/workqueue.c: In function `current_is_keventd':
kernel/workqueue.c:460: warning: unused variable `cpu'

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
