5 * Base implementations of per-CPU variable declarations and definitions, where
6 * the section in which the variable is to be placed is provided by the
7 * 'sec' argument. This may be used to affect the parameters governing the
8 * variable's storage.
10 * NOTE! The sections for the DECLARE and for the DEFINE must match, lest
11 * linkage errors occur due the compiler generating the wrong code to access
12 * that section.

22 * Macro which verifies @ptr is a percpu pointer without evaluating
23 * @ptr. This is to be used in percpu accessors to verify that the
24 * input parameter is a percpu pointer.

32 * s390 and alpha modules require percpu variables to be defined as
33 * weak to force the compiler to generate GOT based external
34 * references for them. This is necessary because percpu sections
35 * will be located outside of the usually addressable area.
37 * This definition puts the following two extra restrictions when
38 * defining percpu variables.
40 * 1. The symbol must be globally unique, even the static ones.
41 * 2. Static percpu variables cannot be defined inside a function.
43 * Archs which need weak percpu definitions should define
44 * ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in asm/percpu.h when necessary.
46 * To ensure that the generic code observes the above two
47 * restrictions, if CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU is set weak
48 * definition is used for all cases.
50 #if defined(ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU) || defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU)
52 * __pcpu_scope_* dummy variable is used to enforce scope. It
53 * receives the static modifier when it's used in front of
54 * DEFINE_PER_CPU() and will trigger build failure if
55 * DECLARE_PER_CPU() is used for the same variable.
57 * __pcpu_unique_* dummy variable is used to enforce symbol uniqueness
58 * such that hidden weak symbol collision, which will cause unrelated
59 * variables to share the same address, can be detected during build.

104 * Declaration/definition used for per-CPU variables that must be cacheline
105 * aligned under SMP conditions so that, whilst a particular instance of the
106 * data corresponds to a particular CPU, inefficiencies due to direct access by
107 * other CPUs are reduced by preventing the data from unnecessarily spanning
108 * cachelines.
110 * An example of this would be statistical data, where each CPU's set of data
111 * is updated by that CPU alone, but the data from across all CPUs is collated
112 * by a CPU processing a read from a proc file.
