[PATCH UPDATED 1/2] x86, percpu: Optimize this_cpu_ptr

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Sep 09 2010 - 12:19:37 EST


Allow arches to implement __this_cpu_ptr, and provide an x86 version.

Before:
movq $foo, %rax
movq %gs:this_cpu_off, %rdx
addq %rdx, %rax

After:
movq $foo, %rax
addq %gs:this_cpu_off, %rax

The benefit is doing it in one less instruction and not clobbering
a temporary register.

tj: beefed up the comment a bit and renamed in-macro temp variable to
match neighboring macros.

Applied both patches to the following branch. I updated the first
patch slightly.

Thank you.
