Applied the following to percpu/for-3.13-fixes. Thanks! ------ 8< ------ >From b1a0fbfdde65dffd83c84c006f84fa12041907c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2013 10:12:40 -0500 When CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU or CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is set, DEFINE_PER_CPU() explodes into cryptic series of definitions to still allow using "static" for percpu variables while keeping all per-cpu symbols unique in the kernel image which is required for weak symbols. This ultimately converts the actual symbol to global whether DEFINE_PER_CPU() is prefixed with static or not. Unfortunately, the macro forgot to add explicit extern declartion of the actual symbol ending up defining global symbol without preceding declaration for static definitions which naturally don't have matching DECLARE_PER_CPU(). The only ill effect is triggering of the following warnings. fs/inode.c:74:8: warning: symbol 'nr_inodes' was not declared. Should it be static? fs/inode.c:75:8: warning: symbol 'nr_unused' was not declared. Should it be static? Fix it by adding extern declaration in the DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro.
