[PATCH] x86_64: x86_64 version of the smp alternative patch.
Changes are largely identical to the i386 version: * alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file. * one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out for non-smp. * two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to replace SMP code with simpler UP code. * fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros. The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from compile-time to runtime. Loosely based on a early version from Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

94 * Alternative inline assembly for SMP.
95 *
96 * alternative_smp() takes two versions (SMP first, UP second) and is
97 * for more complex stuff such as spinlocks.
98 *
99 * The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
100 * LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
101 *
102 * SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
103 * alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
104 * UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
105 * works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
106 *
107 * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
108 * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
109 * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
110 * useful in virtualized environments.
111 *
112 * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
113 * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
114 * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
