Subject: [patch] fix up smp alternatives on x86-64
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 11:20:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44F2B557.6020403@suse.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 418 bytes --]

Don't use alternative_smp() in for __raw_spin_lock.  gcc
sometimes generates rip-relative addressing, so we can't
simply copy the instruction to another place.

Replace some leftover "lock;" with LOCK_PREFIX.

Fillup space with 0x90 (nop) instead of 0x42, so
"objdump -d -j .smp_altinstr_replacement vmlinux" gives more
readable results.
