Peter Zijlstra 8ce371f984 lockdep: Fix per-cpu static objects
Since commit 383776fa75 ("locking/lockdep: Handle statically initialized
PER_CPU locks properly") we try to collapse per-cpu locks into a single
class by giving them all the same key. For this key we choose the canonical
address of the per-cpu object, which would be the offset into the per-cpu
area.

This has two problems:

 - there is a case where we run  lock->key through static_obj() and
   expect this to pass; it doesn't for canonical pointers.

 - 0 is a valid canonical address.

Cure both issues by redefining the canonical address as the address of the
per-cpu variable on the boot CPU.

Since I didn't want to rely on CPU0 being the boot-cpu, or even existing at
all, track the boot CPU in a variable.

Fixes: 383776fa75 ("locking/lockdep: Handle statically initialized PER_CPU locks properly")

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
