+ *		with '__ksym'. A ksym is percpu if there is a global percpu var
+ *		(either static or global) defined of the same name in the kernel.
+ *
+ *		bpf_per_cpu_ptr() has the same semantic as per_cpu_ptr() in the
+ *		kernel, except that bpf_per_cpu_ptr() may return NULL. This
+ *		happens if *cpu* is larger than nr_cpu_ids. The caller of
+ *		bpf_per_cpu_ptr() must check the returned value.

+ *		A generic pointer pointing to the variable on *cpu*.
