77 * Alternative inline assembly for SMP.
78 *
79 * alternative_smp() takes two versions (SMP first, UP second) and is
80 * for more complex stuff such as spinlocks.
81 *
82 * The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
83 * LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
84 *
85 * SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
86 * alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
87 * UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
88 * works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
89 *
90 * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
91 * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
92 * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
93 * useful in virtualized environments.
94 *
95 * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
96 * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
97 * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
