Subject: [PATCH 00/12] cpumask: reduce stack pressure from local/passed cpumask variables v3


Modify usage of cpumask_t variables to use pointers as much as possible.

Changes are:

	* Use an allocated array of cpumask_t's for cpumask_of_cpu().
	  This removes > 20,000 bytes of stack usage (see all changes
	  in the chart below),
	  as well as reduces the code generated for each usage.

	* Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to pass a pointer to the "newly allowed"
	  cpumask.  This removes > 10,000 bytes of stack usage.

	* Use node_to_cpumask_ptr that returns pointer to cpumask for the
	  specified node.  This removes > 10,000 bytes of stack usage.

	* Modify build_sched_domains and related sub-functions to pass
	  pointers to cpumask temp variables.  This consolidates stack
	  space that was spread over various functions.

	* Remove large array from numa_initmem_init() [> 8,000 bytes].

	* Optimize usages of {CPU,NODE}_MASK_{NONE,ALL} [> 9,000 bytes].

	* Various other changes to reduce stacksize and silence checkpatch
	  warnings [ > 7,000 bytes].

v3: rebased on x86/latest + sched-devel/latest
    collapsed many patches so same files don't appear in different
    patches (kernel/sched.c unfortunately still appears in about 5
    or 6 patches, and include/asm-x86/topology.h is in 2.)

v2: resubmitted based on x86/latest.
