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