percpu: include/asm-generic/percpu.h should contain only arch-overridable parts
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.
