2020-09-04	smp: Add source and destination CPUs to __call_single_data	Paul E. McKenney	1	-0/+3
	This commit adds a destination CPU to __call_single_data, and is inspired by an earlier commit by Peter Zijlstra. This version adds #ifdef to permit use by 32-bit systems and supplying the destination CPU for all smp_call_function*() requests, not just smp_call_function_single(). If need be, 32-bit systems could be accommodated by shrinking the flags field to 16 bits (the atomic_t variant is currently unused) and by providing only eight bits for CPU on such systems. It is not clear that the addition of the fields to __call_single_node are really needed.

2020-06-28	smp, irq_work: Continue smp_call_function() and irq_work() integration	Peter Zijlstra	1	-0/+66
	Instead of relying on BUG_ON() to ensure the various data structures line up, use a bunch of horrible unions to make it all automatic. Much of the union magic is to ensure irq_work and smp_call_function do not (yet) see the members of their respective data structures change name.
