Yes, that is even better. See attached patch with the modifications for my
major archs (s390, x86-64, generic). I did a run of 'make allmodconfig' with
the attached patch and it produced some errors. I'll send the patches in a
seperate mail.
From: Jan Blunck <[email protected]>
Subject: trigger a syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly used
get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple identifiers.
Otherwise the arch dependant implementations might break. This patch enforces
the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax error if the variable is
not a simple identifier.
