    percpu: fix DEBUG_PREEMPT per_cpu checking · 1e835278
    Hugh Dickins authored
    2.6.25-rc1 percpu changes broke CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT's per_cpu checking
    on several architectures.  On s390, sparc64 and x86 it's been weakened to
    not checking at all; whereas on powerpc64 it's become too strict, issuing
    warnings from __raw_get_cpu_var in io_schedule and init_timer for example.
    
    Fix this by weakening powerpc's __my_cpu_offset to use the non-checking
    local_paca instead of get_paca (which itself contains such a check);
    and strengthening the generic my_cpu_offset to go the old slow way via
    smp_processor_id when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT (debug_smp_processor_id is
    where all the knowledge of what's correct when lives).
