x86/percpu: Cure per CPU madness on UP
On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with per CPU accessors: cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: got unsigned int * The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular per CPU accessors. Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function and implement exactly that. This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.
