+ * This definition puts the following two extra restrictions when

+ *
+ * 1. The symbol must be globally unique, even the static ones.
+ * 2. Static percpu variables cannot be defined inside a function.
+ *
+ * Archs which need weak percpu definitions should define
+ * ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in asm/percpu.h when necessary.

+ * To ensure that the generic code observes the above two
+ * restrictions, if CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU is set weak
+ * definition is used for all cases.
