Here it is.

# define RELOC_HIDE(ptr, off)					\
  ({ unsigned long __ptr;					\
     __ptr = (unsigned long) (ptr);				\
    (typeof(ptr)) (__ptr + (off)); })

#define __verify_pcpu_ptr(ptr)	do {					\
	const void __percpu *__vpp_verify = (typeof(ptr))NULL;		\
	(void)__vpp_verify;						\
} while (0)

/* Weird cast keeps both GCC and sparse happy. */
#define SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR(__p, __offset)	({				\
	__verify_pcpu_ptr((__p));					\
	RELOC_HIDE((typeof(*(__p)) __kernel __force *)(__p), (__offset)); \
})

#define per_cpu(var, cpu) \
	(*SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR(&(var), per_cpu_offset(cpu)))

Thanks.
