x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMP
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points
to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
This patch folds pda into percpu area.
Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve
this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
area.
After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().
This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
sites.
A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.
