28 * s390 and alpha modules require percpu variables to be defined as
29 * weak to force the compiler to generate GOT based external
30 * references for them. This is necessary because percpu sections
31 * will be located outside of the usually addressable area.
32 *
33 * This definition puts the following two extra restrictions when
34 * defining percpu variables.
35 *
36 * 1. The symbol must be globally unique, even the static ones.
37 * 2. Static percpu variables cannot be defined inside a function.
38 *
39 * Archs which need weak percpu definitions should define
40 * ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in asm/percpu.h when necessary.
41 *
42 * To ensure that the generic code observes the above two
43 * restrictions, if CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU is set weak
44 * definition is used for all cases.

48 * __pcpu_scope_* dummy variable is used to enforce scope. It
49 * receives the static modifier when it's used in front of
50 * DEFINE_PER_CPU() and will trigger build failure if
51 * DECLARE_PER_CPU() is used for the same variable.
52 *
53 * __pcpu_unique_* dummy variable is used to enforce symbol uniqueness
54 * such that hidden weak symbol collision, which will cause unrelated
55 * variables to share the same address, can be detected during build.
