Hello list,
there is a typo in the definition of per_cpu_offset because, for ia64,
the __per_cpu_offset is an array.
extern unsigned long __per_cpu_offset[NR_CPUS];
-#define per_cpu_offset(x) (__per_cpu_offset(x))
+#define per_cpu_offset(x) (__per_cpu_offset[x])
Thanks,
Luming

This looks correct to me, and gcc seems to agree too.
Though curiuously with my config nothing uses per_cpu_offset()
(I added a bogus call to produce an error.) Is it actually
used on ia64?

It is unused, and in that regard should probably be deleted.
include/asm-generic/percpu.h defines a seemingly similarly
unused per_cpu_offset() macro define as well

It looks like they were both added by "[PATCH] lockdep: add per_cpu_offset()"
(a875a69f8b00a38b4f40d9632a4fc71a159f0e0d)
Perhaps they were used at that time?

I looked into this a little further:
I'm pretty much convinced that the asm-ia64 version of per_cpu_offset()
is unused as ia64 doesn't have lockdep. I will send a patch to get rid
of it. The generic version might be used on mips, sh or arm with
CONFIG_SMP, as these architectures have lockdep. I did managed to
produce a compiler error on mips by removing the asm-generic version of
per_cpu_offset().

NAK for now.
I'm trying to add lockdep , so please don't delete it until it could
be proved really useless...
Please don't hurry...
