Subject: [patch V5 01/16] percpu: Sanitize __percpu_qual include hell
Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:09:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602090535.254874125@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260602084648.462672743@kernel.org
Slapping __percpu_qual into the next available header is sloppy at best.
It's required by __percpu which is defined in compiler_types.h and that is
meant to be included without requiring a boatload of other headers so that
a struct or function declaration can contain a __percpu qualifier w/o
further prerequisites.
This implicit dependency on linux/percpu.h makes that impossible and causes
a major problem when trying to separate headers.
Create asm/percpu_types.h and move it there. Include that from
compiler_types.h and the whole recursion problem goes away.
Fix up UM so it uses the generic header and includes it in the UM_HOST
build, which pulls in compiler_types.h. The USER_CFLAGS fix was suggested
by Richard.
