This is the final patch to remove __get_cpu_var. I checked -next and there are no remaining uses of __get_cpu_var. So either merge this to -next or wait until 3.19 late.
However, if we wait till 3.19 then I may have to do another pass if people add more uses of __get_cpu_var and submit another patch. From: Christoph Lameter <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:09:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Remove __get_cpu_var and __raw_get_cpu_var macros No user is left in the kernel source tree. Therefore we can drop the definitions. This is the final merge of the transition away from __get_cpu_var. After this patch the kernel will not build if anyone uses __get_cpu_var.
