Dennis Zhou 554fef1c39 percpu: allow select gfp to be passed to underlying allocators
The prior patch added support for passing gfp flags through to the
underlying allocators. This patch allows users to pass along gfp flags
(currently only __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN) to the underlying
allocators. This should allow users to decide if they are ok with
failing allocations recovering in a more graceful way.

Additionally, gfp passing was done as additional flags in the previous
patch. Instead, change this to caller passed semantics. GFP_KERNEL is
also removed as the default flag. It continues to be used for internally
caused underlying percpu allocations.

V2:
Removed gfp_percpu_mask in favor of doing it inline.
Removed GFP_KERNEL as a default flag for __alloc_percpu_gfp.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
