Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/page_alloc: Work around a pahole limitation with
 zero-sized struct pagesets

This patch replaces

Andrew's tree.

Andrii Nakryiko bisected the problem to the commit "mm/page_alloc: convert
per-cpu list protection to local_lock" currently staged in mmotm. In his
own words

  The immediate problem is two different definitions of numa_node per-cpu
  variable. They both are at the same offset within .data..percpu ELF
  section, they both have the same name, but one of them is marked as
  static and another as global. And one is int variable, while another
  is struct pagesets. I'll look some more tomorrow, but adding Jiri and
  Arnaldo for visibility.

  [110907] DATASEC '.data..percpu' size=178904 vlen=303
  ...
        type_id=27753 offset=163976 size=4 (VAR 'numa_node')
        type_id=27754 offset=163976 size=4 (VAR 'numa_node')

  [27753] VAR 'numa_node' type_id=27556, linkage=static
  [27754] VAR 'numa_node' type_id=20, linkage=global

  [20] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED

  [27556] STRUCT 'pagesets' size=0 vlen=1
        'lock' type_id=507 bits_offset=0

  [506] STRUCT '(anon)' size=0 vlen=0
  [507] TYPEDEF 'local_lock_t' type_id=506

The patch in question introduces a zero-sized per-cpu struct and while
this is not wrong, versions of pahole prior to 1.22 (unreleased) get
confused during BTF generation with two separate variables occupying the
same address.

This patch checks for older versions of pahole and only allows
DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES if pahole supports zero-sized per-cpu structures.
DEBUG_INFO_BTF is still allowed as a KVM boot test passed with pahole
v1.19.  While pahole 1.22 does not exist yet, it is assumed that Hritik's
fix that allows DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES to work will be included in that
release.
