Move the following task-&gt;mm helper APIs into a new header file,
&lt;linux/sched/mm.h&gt;, to further reduce the size and complexity
of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/hotplug.h&gt;</title>

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/hotplug.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/hotplug.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<title>mm: add new mmget() helper</title>

Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:

  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_users' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;mm_users);/mmget\(\1\);/'
  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_users' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&amp;\(.*\)\.mm_users);/mmget\(\&amp;\1\);/'

This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

The code being removed was copied from arm, where the corresponding
code was removed in 2013. The only functional change should be that
the rating of the dummy local timer changes from 400 to 100.

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

This may be OK in archs with contiguous CPU numbers and without
hotplug CPUs, but it sets a terrible example.

And open-coding it like drivers/scsi/hpsa.c is just weird.

BTRFS has a weird comparison with num_online_cpus() too, but since
BTRFS just screwed up my test machines' root partition, I'm not
touching it :)

<title>sh: Replace __get_cpu_var uses</title>

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source.  One
of them is address calculation via the form &amp;__get_cpu_var(x).  This
calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the
current processor based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&amp;(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination.  However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less
registers are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well.  Once these
operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in
non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using
a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &amp;__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&amp;x, this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)
