Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (46 commits) powerpc64: convert to dynamic percpu allocator sparc64: use embedding percpu first chunk allocator percpu: kill lpage first chunk allocator x86,percpu: use embedding for 64bit NUMA and page for 32bit NUMA percpu: update embedding first chunk allocator to handle sparse units percpu: use group information to allocate vmap areas sparsely vmalloc: implement pcpu_get_vm_areas() vmalloc: separate out insert_vmalloc_vm() percpu: add chunk->base_addr percpu: add pcpu_unit_offsets[] percpu: introduce pcpu_alloc_info and pcpu_group_info percpu: move pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() and pcpul_lpage_dump_cfg() upward percpu: add @align to pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t percpu: make @dyn_size mandatory for pcpu_setup_first_chunk() percpu: drop @static_size from first chunk allocators percpu: generalize first chunk allocator selection percpu: build first chunk allocators selectively percpu: rename 4k first chunk allocator to page percpu: improve boot messages percpu: fix pcpu_reclaim() locking ... Fix trivial conflict as by Tejun Heo in kernel/sched.c
