[Patch 1/1] Fix genksyms handling of DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);

This is a one-line change to parse.y.  It results in rebuilding the
scripts/genksyms/*_shipped files.  Those are the next four patches.

When a .c file contains:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);

the .cpp output looks like:
__attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) __typeof__(struct foo_s *) per_cpu__bar;

With the existing parse.y, the value inside the paranthesis of
__typeof__() does not evaluate as a type_specifier and therefore
per_cpu__bar does not get assigned a type for genksyms which results in
the EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL() not generating a CRC value.

I have compared the Modules.symvers with and without this
patch and for ia64's defconfig, the only change is:
Before 0x00000000    per_cpu____sn_nodepda   vmlinux
After  0x9d3f3faa    per_cpu____sn_nodepda   vmlinux

per_cpu____sn_nodepda was the original source of my problems.

Does this differ from the first patch-set you sent out?
I plan to apply these so they will be part of next round of kbuild
updates - which will take place during next merge window.

They are the same.  It took me four to finally get all the
parts out and on the lkml.

Thanks,

Applied now. I created new _shipped files with the tools I have
installed.

bison (GNU Bison) 2.0
flex version 2.5.4
GNU gperf 3.0.1

This is (almost) a match of the same tools used for kconfig.

Thanks.  When do you think that will be applied to Linus' tree?

When 2.6.16 opens up. I have not planned to push to get it into
2.6.15-rc since noone but you have noticed.
And also the change of bison/flex version deserve a bit wider testing.
