This patchset enables strict percpu address space checks via x86 named
address space qualifiers. Percpu variables are declared in
__seg_gs/__seg_fs named AS and kept named AS qualified until they
are dereferenced via percpu accessor. This approach enables various
compiler checks for cross-namespace variable assignments.
Please note that current version of sparse doesn't know anything about
__typeof_unqual__() operator. Avoid the usage of __typeof_unqual__()
when sparse checking is active to prevent sparse errors with unknowing
keyword.
v2: - Add comment to remove test for __CHECKER__ once sparse learns
about __typeof_unqual__.
- Add Acked-by: tags.
