[DECLARE|DEFINE]_PER_CPU_MULTIPAGE_ALIGNED never really worked because
the head percpu section was only page aligned. Now that the last user

Add a new readmostly percpu section and API. This can be used to
avoid dirtying data lines which are generally not written to, which is
especially important for data which may be accessed by processors
other than the one for which the percpu area belongs to.[ hpa: moved it *after* the page-aligned section, for obvious
reasons. ]Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

The irq stacks, located in the percpu-area, need to be
THREAD_SIZE aligned. Add the infrastucture to align percpu
variables to larger-than-pagesize amounts within the percpu
area, and use it to specify the alignment for the irq stacks.
Also align the percpu area itself to THREAD_SIZE.This should make irq stacks work with 8K THREAD_SIZE.

Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

original patch.* Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

Make the following changes to remove some sparse warnings.
* Make DEFINE_PER_CPU_SECTION() declare __pcpu_unique_* before
defining it.* Annotate pcpu_extend_area_map() that it is entered with pcpu_lock
held, releases it and then reacquires it.* Make percpu related macros use unique nested variable names.
* While at it, add pcpu prefix to __size_call[_return]() macros as
to-be-implemented sparse annotations will add percpu specific stuff
to these macros.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() put percpu variables in
.page_aligned section without adding any alignment restrictions.
Currently, this doesn't cause any problem because all users of the
macros have explicit page alignment and page-sized but it's much safer
to enforce page alignment from the macros. After all, it's what they
claim to do.Add __aligned(PAGE_SIZE) to DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() and
drop explicit alignment from it users.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix
changes. As alpha in percpu tree uses 'weak' attribute instead of
inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute.Conflicts:

alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Some archs (alpha and s390) need to use weak definitions for percpu
variables in modules so that the compiler generates external
references for them.This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by
defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file. This
weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable
definitions.1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a functionTo ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config
option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for
all cases.This patch is inspired by Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so
that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly
the SHARED_ALIGNED variant.It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible
without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers
and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).Signed-off-by: David Howells
