This patchset enables strict percpu address space checks via x86 named 
address space qualifiers. Percpu variables are declared in
__seg_gs/__seg_fs named AS and kept named AS qualified until they
are dereferenced via percpu accessor. This approach enables various
compiler checks for cross-namespace variable assignments.

Please note that current version of sparse doesn't know anything about
__typeof_unqual__() operator. Avoid the usage of __typeof_unqual__()
when sparse checking is active to prevent sparse errors with unknowing
keyword.

Uros Bizjak (6):
  x86/kgdb: Use IS_ERR_PCPU() macro
  compiler.h: Introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro
  percpu: Use TYPEOF_UNQUAL() in variable declarations
  percpu: Use TYPEOF_UNQUAL() in *_cpu_ptr() accessors
  percpu: Repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space qualifier
  percpu/x86: Enable strict percpu checks via named AS qualifiers
