[PATCH] lib/cpumask: Make CPUMASK_OFFSTACK usable without debugdependency

From: Josh Boyer
Date: Mon Nov 11 2013 - 09:36:01 EST


When CPUMASK_OFFSTACK was added in 2008, it was dependent upon
DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS being enabled, or an architecture could select it.
The debug dependency adds additional overhead that isn't required for
operation of the feature, and we need CPUMASK_OFFSTACK to increase the
NR_CPUS value beyond 512 on x86. We drop the current dependency and make
sure SMP is set.

Use dynamic allocation for cpumask_var_t, instead of putting
them on the stack. This is a bit more expensive, but avoids
