Some archs (alpha and s390) need to use weak definitions for percpu variables in modules so that the compiler generates external references for them. This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file. This weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable definitions. 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function To ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for all cases. This patch is inspired by Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
