The patch introduces per_cpu_qual define and repurposes __percpu
tag as a named address space qualifier using the new define.

Arches can now conditionally define __per_cpu_qual as their
named address space qualifier for percpu variables.

I read through the series and I think my only nit would be here. Can we
name this __percpu_qual? My thoughts are that it keeps it consistent
with the old address space identifier and largely most of the core
percpu stuff is defined with percpu as the naming scheme.

Yes lets keep it consistent.

I based the approach on the definition of per_cpu_offset() a few lines
bellow in include/asm-generic/percpu.h:

--q--
#ifndef __per_cpu_offset
extern unsigned long __per_cpu_offset[NR_CPUS];

#define per_cpu_offset(x) (__per_cpu_offset[x])
#endif
--/q--

Sure, we can call this __percpu_qual. So, the definition in
arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h would read as:

# define __percpu_qual      __percpu_seg_override

> > +# define per_cpu_qual __per_cpu_qual
> > +#else
> > +# define per_cpu_qual
> > +#endif

The above part could be recoded as:

#ifndef __percpu_qual
# define __percpu_qual
#endif

while the line below would become:

# define __percpu    __percpu_qual BTF_TYPE_TAG(percpu)

Let me test these changes a bit, I'll send a v3 in a couple of days.

Thanks,
