x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMP
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region. The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address change. * code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the load address to the gdt_page offset. * __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area is necessary. * pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero value doesn't work anymore. This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu variables at zero" patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
