x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4
* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed before there are per_cpu areas allocated. ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu areas have been setup".] This patchset adds these new macros: DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue) EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name) DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name) early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx) early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable. The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to access the variable if you have a function that can be called both "early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used instead: #define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) \ (early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ? \ early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] : \ per_cpu(_name, _cpu)) A better method is to actually check the pointer manually. In the case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late": void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node) { int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map); if (cpu_to_node_map) cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node; else per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node; } * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack. * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while the non-debug case has been optimized a bit. * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.
