Subject: percpu: fix DEBUG_PREEMPT per_cpu checking
From: Hugh Dickins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Recent percpu changes have broken 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).
