Add a new percpu subsection for data that is frequently accessed and
exclusive to each processor.  This replaces the pcpu_hot struct on x86,
and is available to all architectures and the core kernel.

ffffffff834f5000 D __per_cpu_hot_start
ffffffff834f5000 D hardirq_stack_ptr
ffffffff834f5008 D __ref_stack_chk_guard
ffffffff834f5008 D __stack_chk_guard
ffffffff834f5010 D const_cpu_current_top_of_stack
ffffffff834f5010 D cpu_current_top_of_stack
ffffffff834f5018 D const_current_task
ffffffff834f5018 D current_task
ffffffff834f5020 D __x86_call_depth
ffffffff834f5028 D this_cpu_off
ffffffff834f5030 D __preempt_count
ffffffff834f5034 D cpu_number
ffffffff834f5038 D __softirq_pending
ffffffff834f503a D hardirq_stack_inuse
ffffffff834f503b D __per_cpu_hot_pad
ffffffff834f5040 D __per_cpu_hot_end

This applies to the tip/x86/asm branch.

Changes in v3:
- Fix typo of CACHE_HOT_DATA()
- Move hardirq_stack_inuse to irq_64.c
- Add __per_cpu_hot_pad to show the end of the actual data

Brian Gerst (11):
  percpu: Introduce percpu hot section
  x86/percpu: Move pcpu_hot to percpu hot section
  x86/preempt: Move preempt count to percpu hot section
  x86/smp: Move cpu number to percpu hot section
  x86/retbleed: Move call depth to percpu hot section
  x86/softirq: Move softirq_pending to percpu hot section
  x86/irq: Move irq stacks to percpu hot section
  x86/percpu: Move top_of_stack to percpu hot section
  x86/percpu: Move current_task to percpu hot section
  x86/stackprotector: Move __stack_chk_guard to percpu hot section
  x86/smp: Move this_cpu_off to percpu hot section
