Linus Torvalds ed8d9adf35 x86, percpu: Add 'percpu_read_stable()' interface for cacheable accesses
This is very useful for some common things like 'get_current()' and
'get_thread_info()', which can be used multiple times in a function, and
where the result is cacheable.

tj: Added the magical undocumented "P" modifier to UP __percpu_arg()
    to force gcc to dereference the pointer value passed in via the
    "p" input constraint.  Without this, percpu_read_stable() returns
    the address of the percpu variable.  Also added comment explaining
    the difference between percpu_read() and percpu_read_stable().
