39 * Alternative instructions for different CPU types or capabilities.
41 * This allows to use optimized instructions even on generic binary
42 * kernels.
44 * length of oldinstr must be longer or equal the length of newinstr
45 * It can be padded with nops as needed.
47 * For non barrier like inlines please define new variants
48 * without volatile and memory clobber.

65 * Alternative inline assembly with input.
67 * Pecularities:
68 * No memory clobber here.
69 * Argument numbers start with 1.
70 * Best is to use constraints that are fixed size (like (%1) ... "r")
71 * If you use variable sized constraints like "m" or "g" in the
72 * replacement make sure to pad to the worst case length.

104 * Alternative inline assembly for SMP.
106 * The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
107 * LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
109 * SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
110 * alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
111 * UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
112 * works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
114 * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
115 * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
116 * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
117 * useful in virtualized environments.
119 * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
120 * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
121 * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
