[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: percpu: cast percpu pointer in PERCPU_PTR() via unsigned long
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     percpu-cast-percpu-pointer-in-percpu_ptr-via-unsigned-long.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: percpu: cast percpu pointer in PERCPU_PTR() via unsigned long
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 10:07:38 +0200

Cast pointer from percpu address space to generic (kernel) address space
in PERCPU_PTR() macro via unsigned long intermediate cast [1].  This
intermediate cast is also required to avoid build failure when GCC's
strict named address space checks for x86 targets [2] are enabled.

Found by GCC's named address space checks.
