    x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4 · 23ca4bba
    Mike Travis 提交于
      * 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.
