10 * Alternative inline assembly for SMP.
12 * The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
13 * LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
15 * SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
16 * alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
17 * UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
18 * works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
20 * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
21 * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
22 * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
23 * useful in virtualized environments.
25 * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
26 * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
27 * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
