ok, but these seem to be genuinely yours.

one build failure:

arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c: In function âsetup_per_cpu_areasâ:
arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c:442: error: âptrâ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c:442: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c:442: error: for each function it appears in.)

one new warning:

mm/percpu.c: In function âpcpu_mapâ:
mm/percpu.c:604: warning: unused variable âlastâ

and one tip:master merge impact due to API change:

kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c: In function âgraph_trace_closeâ:
kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:836: error: implicit declaration of function âpercpu_freeâ

that's free_percpu() now, right?

Btw., why was this rename done? We generally standardize on
hierarchical names, going from the more general to the more
specific names, left to right. So we have
<subsystem>_<functionality>_<subtype> sort of names generally.
