Feh, it's hardly a new term - it dates back to when those crazy x86 kids first got their hands on this fancy new SMP stuff and started running into issues. It's coming from the fact that that was the first case to change the assumptions that had previously existed so things broke on SMP systems. > What you mean is "single threaded assumptions".

If we're concerned about the name I'd not mention threads as that's often confusing for people in these contexts as it's not always obvious to everyone if or how interrupts count. "Single execution context" or even "old school Linux" are probably less ambiguous. --j13PAD5Nz8dz2ik7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPVkEvAAoJEBus8iNuMP3d+koP/R88hw5tKSzXTA7et8dNwAf2 jmJRqjThaZEufFsQdgOafOKMeB7VTjsWs2FARib74rRcrWn/436lgdFQdIMmzmxb lcELZEez9kWJg0lIKfM/5Rs4dTJv2PWd/x4G7O/2eh/bI8yv3aINy682W4JYxjda NXjalJELVpRJP3gXkh8TKnv72d+AJ6Zh2cdvHqJ8jgBSPmmAlDNc4GmzGAgtt0PI AXhnvVoIxkdKgkw2ejAV73D8UtHBnIpPjChZlDA1RyBRZJ348N66VakEcHJX/3fe lI/vQH+BtYtr2z/zhWWYbT3Z1VKL7SPhcixErPJhUo1vUTS5Ke8jR2jRj5EHvP3m GmY04AiTsnCMZtDQrKa1rYmya/zlXhGgWm8hiofOieA2HwUMLlLWVmCJ/VHUcI1S BNVav8MkeSBB+7FolBF0UDBu/OhprUfF4OGMtkQIi4/euLA/cP1XsfHYA8Tx2TPy lcxA9V7krcaZzRMTEuuRQUndSfk4+JZBNShi6J49DegPcu2BR1l06vpUNzMbm9ML z6wsBIBGWFln7bL0ULzM209V2zum0KB5T3mcDV0wCtm0NIO0y/fcp6IuPpI6v+tL uDgVGz3h4VKsiqe0XXkz+uEGjeXDFxlpIvkhhGtTkwywHnUDMmMNuNl9/4UhtzwN A/owt+WXu4JMwOOSOocU =j2/D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --j13PAD5Nz8dz2ik7-- --===============8434315182940938610== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline --===============8434315182940938610==--
