KVM guest defines three per-CPU variables (steal-time, apf_reason, and
kvm_pic_eoi) which are shared between a guest and a hypervisor.
When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and if
the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor then it
must clear the C-bit (i.e set decrypted) before sharing it.
DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED can be used to define the per-CPU variables
which will be shared between a guest and a hypervisor.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
arch/alpha/include/asm/percpu.h
arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
include/linux/percpu-defs.h

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.

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.
