Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag
If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for s390 and
alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define the percpu
variable _shared_alloc_tag.
Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose.
When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if
defined(MODULE)). However, when building modules for these architectures,
the macro is explicitly defined.
Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from the
code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to replace the
relevant logic. We can now conditionally define the perpcu variable
_shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU. This
allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak definitions
for percpu variables in modules to include the definition, while others
can omit it via compile-time exclusion.

Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then
using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed.
- The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry
Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been
deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from
Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No
runtime effects are anticipated.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations
from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in
the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code"
from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible
output.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and
schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless
damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the
accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from
Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io
and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is
preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS
filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering
by huge page sizes.
- The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem
mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for
pte-mapped large folios.
- The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from
Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation
fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the
DAMON docs.
- The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from
Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
when using CMA on large machines.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped
pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
page's mapped/unmapped status.
- The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run
them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which
Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap"
from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song

which we accidentally added late last year.
- The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of
how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas

reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.
- The 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages()
for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The 9 patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters
useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow
and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the
documention is updated accordingly.
- The 5 patch series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry

the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.
- The 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang
does as it claims.

Add a subsection to the percpu data for frequently accessed variables
that should remain cached on each processor. These varables should not
be accessed from other processors to avoid cacheline bouncing.
This will replace the pcpu_hot struct on x86, and open up similar
functionality to other architectures and the kernel core.

Introduce PERCPU_PTR() macro to cast the percpu pointer from the percpu
address space to a generic (kernel) address space. Use it in
per_cpu_ptr() and related SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() macros.
Also remove common knowledge from SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() comment, "weird cast"
is just a standard way to inform sparse of a cast from the percpu address
space to a generic address space.

CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION may not be enabled for memory encrypted guests. If
disabled, decrypted per-CPU variables may end up sharing the same page
with variables that should be left encrypted.
Always separate per-CPU variables that should be decrypted into their own
page anytime memory encryption can be enabled in the guest rather than
rely on any other config option that may not be enabled.

KVM guest defines three per-CPU variables (steal-time, apf_reason, and
kvm_pic_eoi) which are shared between a guest and a hypervisor.
When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and if
the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor then it
must clear the C-bit (i.e set decrypted) before sharing it.
DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED can be used to define the per-CPU variables
which will be shared between a guest and a hypervisor.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
- Major reorganization of percpu header files which I think makes
things a lot more readable and logical than before.
- percpu-refcount is updated so that it requires explicit destruction
and can be reinitialized if necessary. This was pulled into the
block tree to replace the custom percpu refcnting implemented in
blk-mq.
- In the process, percpu and percpu-refcount got cleaned up a bit
* 'for-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (21 commits)
percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_reinit() and percpu_ref_is_zero()
percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitly

percpu: preffity percpu header files
percpu: use raw_cpu_*() to define __this_cpu_*()
percpu: reorder macros in percpu header files
percpu: move {raw|this}_cpu_*() definitions to include/linux/percpu-defs.h
percpu: move generic {raw|this}_cpu_*_N() definitions to include/asm-generic/percpu.h

percpu: include/asm-generic/percpu.h should contain only arch-overridable parts
percpu: introduce arch_raw_cpu_ptr()
...
This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as
readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies
.data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu
sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called
data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break
things unexpectedly.
Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly
(commit c957ef2c59), it looks like this
was the original intention.
Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged.

$ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'

__verify_pcpu_ptr() is used to verify that a specified parameter is
actually an percpu pointer by percpu accessor and operation
implementations. Currently, where it's called isn't clearly defined
and we just ensure that it's invoked at least once for all accessors
and operations.
The lack of clarity on when it should be called isn't nice and given
that this is a completely generic issue, there's no reason to make
archs worry about it.
This patch updates __verify_pcpu_ptr() invocations such that it's
always invoked from the final generic wrapper once per access or
operation. As this is already the case for {raw|this}_cpu_*()
definitions through __pcpu_size_*(), only the {raw|per|this}_cpu_ptr()
accessors need to be updated.
This change makes it unnecessary for archs to worry about
__verify_pcpu_ptr(). x86's arch_raw_cpu_ptr() is updated accordingly.

percpu macros are difficult to read. It's partly because they're
fairly complex but also because they simply lack visual and
conventional consistency to an unusual degree. The preceding patches
tried to organize macro definitions consistently by their roles. This
patch makes the following cosmetic changes to improve overall
readability.
* Use consistent convention for multi-line macro definitions - "do {"
or "({" are now put on their own lines and the line continuing '\'
are all put on the same column.
* Temp variables used inside macro are consistently given "__" prefix.
* When a macro argument is passed to another macro or a function,
putting extra parenthses around it doesn't help anything. Don't put
them.
* _this_cpu_generic_*() are renamed to this_cpu_generic_*() so that
they're consistent with raw_cpu_generic_*().
* Reorganize raw_cpu_*() and this_cpu_*() definitions so that trivial
wrappers are collected in one place after actual operation
definitions.
* Other misc cleanups including reorganizing comments.
All changes in this patch are cosmetic and cause no functional
difference.

__this_cpu_*() operations are the same as raw_cpu_*() operations
except for the added __this_cpu_preempt_check(). Curiously, these
were defined using __pcu_size_call_*() instead of being layered on top
of raw_cpu_*().
Let's layer them so that __this_cpu_*() are defined in terms of
raw_cpu_*(). It's simpler and less error-prone this way.

We're in the process of moving all percpu accessors and operations to
include/linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're available to arch headers
without having to include full include/linux/percpu.h which may cause
cyclic inclusion dependency.
This patch moves {raw|this}_cpu_*() definitions from
include/linux/percpu.h to include/linux/percpu-defs.h. The code is
moved mostly verbatim; however, raw_cpu_*() are placed above
this_cpu_*() which is more conventional as the raw operations may be
used to defined other variants.

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.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU or CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
is set, DEFINE_PER_CPU() explodes into cryptic series of definitions
to still allow using "static" for percpu variables while keeping all
per-cpu symbols unique in the kernel image which is required for weak
symbols. This ultimately converts the actual symbol to global whether
DEFINE_PER_CPU() is prefixed with static or not.
Unfortunately, the macro forgot to add explicit extern declartion of
the actual symbol ending up defining global symbol without preceding
declaration for static definitions which naturally don't have matching
DECLARE_PER_CPU(). The only ill effect is triggering of the following
warnings.
fs/inode.c:74:8: warning: symbol 'nr_inodes' was not declared. Should it be static?
fs/inode.c:75:8: warning: symbol 'nr_unused' was not declared. Should it be static?
Fix it by adding extern declaration in the DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro.
