percpu: Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint
Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint.
These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.
In kernel/hw_breakpoint.c, per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned, cpu)'s will
trigger spurious noderef related warnings from sparse. Changing it to
&per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned[0], cpu) will work around the problem but
deemed to ugly by the maintainer. Leave it alone until better
solution can be found.
