lockdep: fix incorrect percpu usage
The mainline kernel as of 2.6.34-rc5 is not affected by this problem because commit 10fad5e46f6c7bdfb01b1a012380a38e3c6ab346 fixed it by refactoring. lockdep fix incorrect percpu usage Should use per_cpu_ptr() to obfuscate the per cpu pointers (RELOC_HIDE is needed for per cpu pointers). git blame points to commit: lockdep.c: commit 8e18257d29238311e82085152741f0c3aa18b74d But it's really just moving the code around. But it's enough to say that the problems appeared before Jul 19 01:48:54 2007, which brings us back to 2.6.23. It should be applied to stable 2.6.23.x to 2.6.33.x (or whichever of these stable branches are still maintained).
