Emese Revfy 52cf25d0ab Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type
Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

Andreas Herrmann a017421ddc x86, mce: Fix compile warning in case of CONFIG_SMP=n
Fix following compile warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd.c: In function 'threshold_create_bank':
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd.c:492: warning: unused variable 'c'

which shows up when kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SMP=n.

Andreas Herrmann cb9805ab5b x86, mcheck: Use correct cpumask for shared bank4
This fixes threshold_bank4 support on multi-node processors.

The correct mask to use is llc_shared_map, representing an internal
node on Magny-Cours.

We need to create 2 sets of symlinks for sibling shared banks -- one
set for each internal node, symlinks of each set should target the
first core on same internal node.

Currently only one set is created where all symlinks are targeting
the first core of the entire socket.

Tejun Heo 204fba4aa3 percpu: cleanup percpu array definitions
Currently, the following three different ways to define percpu arrays
are in use.

1. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type[array_len], array_name);
2. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name[array_len]);
3. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name)[array_len];

Unify to #1 which correctly separates the roles of the two parameters
and thus allows more flexibility in the way percpu variables are
defined.

[ Impact: cleanup ]
