This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

<title>percpu: make percpu symbols in ia64 unique</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch updates percpu related symbols in ia64 such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

* arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c: s/cpu_info/ia64_cpu_info/

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

<title>ia64: convert to dynamic percpu allocator</title>

Unlike other archs, ia64 reserves space for percpu areas during early
memory initialization.  These areas occupy a contiguous region indexed
by cpu number on contiguous memory model or are grouped by node on
discontiguous memory model.

As allocation and initialization are done by the arch code, all that
setup_per_cpu_areas() needs to do is communicating the determined
layout to the percpu allocator.  This patch implements
setup_per_cpu_areas() for both contig and discontig memory models and
drops HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA.

Please note that for contig model, the allocation itself is modified
only to allocate for possible cpus instead of NR_CPUS.  As dynamic
percpu allocator can handle non-direct mapping, there's no reason to
allocate memory for cpus which aren't possible.

All information necessary to initialize cpu possible and present maps
are available once early_acpi_boot_init() is complete.  Reorganize
setup_arch() and acpi init functions such that,

* CPU information is printed after LAPIC entries are parsed in
  early_acpi_boot_init().

* smp_build_cpu_map() is called by setup_arch() instead of acpi
  functions.

* smp_build_cpu_map() is called once all CPU related information is
  available before memory is initialized.

This is primarily to allow find_memory() to use cpu maps but is also a
general cleanup.  Please note that with this change, the somewhat
ad-hoc early_cpu_possible_map defined and used for NUMA configurations
is probably unnecessary.  Something to clean up another day.

It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
unsigned long long on all architectures.  ia64 (in common with several
other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long.  Migrating
piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.

Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long.  This
is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

[Updated by Tony Luck to change efi.h:efi_freemem_callback_t to use
 u64 for start/end rather than unsigned long]

Impact: cleanup, futureproof

In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers &lt; nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various
places.

This is always safe: no cpu number can be &gt;= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.
