Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
- Major reorganization of percpu header files which I think makes
things a lot more readable and logical than before.
- percpu-refcount is updated so that it requires explicit destruction
and can be reinitialized if necessary. This was pulled into the
block tree to replace the custom percpu refcnting implemented in
blk-mq.
- In the process, percpu and percpu-refcount got cleaned up a bit
* 'for-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (21 commits)
percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_reinit() and percpu_ref_is_zero()
percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitly
percpu-refcount: use unsigned long for pcpu_count pointer
percpu-refcount: add helpers for ->percpu_count accesses
percpu-refcount: one bit is enough for REF_STATUS
percpu-refcount, aio: use percpu_ref_cancel_init() in ioctx_alloc()
workqueue: stronger test in process_one_work()
workqueue: clear POOL_DISASSOCIATED in rebind_workers()
percpu: Use ALIGN macro instead of hand coding alignment calculation
percpu: invoke __verify_pcpu_ptr() from the generic part of accessors and operations
percpu: preffity percpu header files
percpu: use raw_cpu_*() to define __this_cpu_*()
percpu: reorder macros in percpu header files
percpu: move {raw|this}_cpu_*() definitions to include/linux/percpu-defs.h
percpu: move generic {raw|this}_cpu_*_N() definitions to include/asm-generic/percpu.h
percpu: only allow sized arch overrides for {raw|this}_cpu_*() ops
percpu: reorganize include/linux/percpu-defs.h
percpu: move accessors from include/linux/percpu.h to percpu-defs.h

operations
__verify_pcpu_ptr() is used to verify that a specified parameter is
actually an percpu pointer by percpu accessor and operation
implementations. Currently, where it's called isn't clearly defined
and we just ensure that it's invoked at least once for all accessors
and operations.
The lack of clarity on when it should be called isn't nice and given
that this is a completely generic issue, there's no reason to make
archs worry about it.
This patch updates __verify_pcpu_ptr() invocations such that it's
always invoked from the final generic wrapper once per access or
operation. As this is already the case for {raw|this}_cpu_*()
definitions through __pcpu_size_*(), only the {raw|per|this}_cpu_ptr()
accessors need to be updated.
This change makes it unnecessary for archs to worry about
__verify_pcpu_ptr(). x86's arch_raw_cpu_ptr() is updated accordingly.

percpu macros are difficult to read. It's partly because they're
fairly complex but also because they simply lack visual and
conventional consistency to an unusual degree. The preceding patches
tried to organize macro definitions consistently by their roles. This
patch makes the following cosmetic changes to improve overall
readability.
* Use consistent convention for multi-line macro definitions - "do {"
or "({" are now put on their own lines and the line continuing '\'
are all put on the same column.
* Temp variables used inside macro are consistently given "__" prefix.
* When a macro argument is passed to another macro or a function,
putting extra parenthses around it doesn't help anything. Don't put
them.
* _this_cpu_generic_*() are renamed to this_cpu_generic_*() so that
they're consistent with raw_cpu_generic_*().
* Reorganize raw_cpu_*() and this_cpu_*() definitions so that trivial
wrappers are collected in one place after actual operation
definitions.
* Other misc cleanups including reorganizing comments.
All changes in this patch are cosmetic and cause no functional
difference.

__this_cpu_*() operations are the same as raw_cpu_*() operations
except for the added __this_cpu_preempt_check(). Curiously, these
were defined using __pcu_size_call_*() instead of being layered on top
of raw_cpu_*().
Let's layer them so that __this_cpu_*() are defined in terms of
raw_cpu_*(). It's simpler and less error-prone this way.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

* In include/asm-generic/percpu.h, collect {raw|_this}_cpu_generic*()
macros into one place. They were dispersed through
{raw|this}_cpu_*_N() definitions and the visiual inconsistency was
making following the code unnecessarily difficult.
* In include/linux/percpu-defs.h, move __verify_pcpu_ptr() later in
the file so that it's right above accessor definitions where it's
actually used.
This is pure reorganization.

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.

Reorganize for better readability.
* Accessor definitions are collected into one place and SMP and UP now
define them in the same order.
* Definitions are layered when possible - e.g. per_cpu() is now
defined in terms of this_cpu_ptr().
* Rather pointless comment dropped.
* per_cpu(), __raw_get_cpu_var() and __get_cpu_var() are defined in a
way which can be shared between SMP and UP and moved out of
CONFIG_SMP blocks.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

include/linux/percpu-defs.h is gonna host all accessors and operations
so that arch headers can make use of them too without worrying about
circular dependency through include/linux/percpu.h.
This patch moves the following accessors from include/linux/percpu.h
to include/linux/percpu-defs.h.
* get/put_cpu_var()
* get/put_cpu_ptr()
* per_cpu_ptr()
This is pure reorgniazation.

The roles of the various percpu header files has become unclear.
There are four header files involved.
include/linux/percpu-defs.h
include/linux/percpu.h
include/asm-generic/percpu.h
arch/*/include/asm/percpu.h
The original intention for include/asm-generic/percpu.h is providing
generic definitions for arch-overridable parts; however, it now hosts
various stuff which can't be overridden by archs.
Also, include/linux/percpu-defs.h was initially added to contain
section and percpu variable definition macros so that arch header
files can make use of them without worrying about introducing cyclic
inclusion dependency by including include/linux/percpu.h; however,
arch headers sometimes need to access percpu variables too and this is
one of the reasons why some accessors were implemented in
include/linux/asm-generic/percpu.h.
Let's clear up the situation by making include/asm-generic/percpu.h
contain only arch-overridable parts and moving accessors and
operations into include/linux/percpu-defs. Note that this patch only
moves things from include/asm-generic/percpu.h.
include/linux/percpu.h will be taken care of by later patches.
This patch moves the followings.
* SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() / VERIFY_PERCPU_PTR()
* per_cpu()
* raw_cpu_ptr()
* this_cpu_ptr()
* __get_cpu_var()
* __raw_get_cpu_var()
* __this_cpu_ptr()
* PER_CPU_[SHARED_]ALIGNED_SECTION
* PER_CPU_[SHARED_]ALIGNED_SECTION
* PER_CPU_FIRST_SECTION
This patch is pure reorganization.

This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as
readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies
.data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu
sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called
data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break
things unexpectedly.
Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly
(commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this
was the original intention.
Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged.
- Before the patch:
$ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'
38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6
50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3
- After the patch:
$ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'
38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6

When CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU or CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
is set, DEFINE_PER_CPU() explodes into cryptic series of definitions
to still allow using "static" for percpu variables while keeping all
per-cpu symbols unique in the kernel image which is required for weak
symbols. This ultimately converts the actual symbol to global whether
DEFINE_PER_CPU() is prefixed with static or not.
Unfortunately, the macro forgot to add explicit extern declartion of
the actual symbol ending up defining global symbol without preceding
declaration for static definitions which naturally don't have matching
DECLARE_PER_CPU(). The only ill effect is triggering of the following
warnings.
fs/inode.c:74:8: warning: symbol 'nr_inodes' was not declared. Should it be static?
fs/inode.c:75:8: warning: symbol 'nr_unused' was not declared. Should it be static?
Fix it by adding extern declaration in the DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro.

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.

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.

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

Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

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 function
To 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.

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.

Pack aligned things together into a special section to minimize
padding holes.

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.

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).
