Merge branch 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull single percpu update from Tejun Heo: "Just a single patch to update type verification macro for percpu accessors. Christoph is trying to replace __get_cpu_var() with this_cpu accessors which needs this update. There are still some issues to be resolved but eventually the conversion patches are likely to be routed through different trees, so I think it'd be convenient to merge this commit early" * 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: percpu: Make __verify_pcu_ptr handle per cpu pointers to arrays
