percpu: implement new dynamic percpu allocator
Impact: new scalable dynamic percpu allocator which allows dynamic percpu areas to be accessed the same way as static ones Implement scalable dynamic percpu allocator which can be used for both static and dynamic percpu areas. This will allow static and dynamic areas to share faster direct access methods. This feature is optional and enabled only when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is defined by arch. Please read comment on top of mm/percpu.c for details. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
