DBG_MAX_REG_NUM incorrectly had the number of indices in the GDB regs
array rather than the number of registers, leading to an oops when the

Rusty pointed out that the per_cpu command uses up lots of space on
the stack and the cpu supress mask is probably not needed.
This patch removes the need for the supress mask as well as fixing up
the following problems with the kdb per_cpu command:
* The per_cpu command should allow an address as an argument
* When you have more data than can be displayed on one screen allow
the user to break out of the print loop.

The 'lib_sort()' test does not free memory if it fails, and it makes the

This patch also changes several small things:
o use 'list_add()' helper instead of adding manually
o introduce temporary 'el1' variable to avoid ugly and unreadalbe
"if" statement
o make 'head' to be stack variable instead of 'kmalloc()'ed, which
simplifies code a bit

At the same time, do the following changes:
o Use shorter macro name for test list length
o Do not use strange 'l_h' name for 'struct list_head' element,
use 'list', because it is traditional name and thus, makes the
code more obvious and readable.

All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and
removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down.
If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system
will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track
down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such
problems can be found easily.
As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically
initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and
activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on
counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit
602586a83b (shmem: put_super must
percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount
and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation.
