+ bool "Force weak per-cpu definitions"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ s390 and alpha require percpu variables in modules to be
+ defined weak to work around addressing range issue which
+ puts the following two restrictions on percpu variable
+ definitions.
+
+ 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
+ 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function
+
+ To ensure that generic code follows the above rules, this
+ option forces all percpu variables to be defined as weak.
