Gerd Hoffmann 8ec4d41f88 [PATCH] SMP alternatives: skip with UP kernels
Hide the magic in alternative.h and provide some dummy inline functions
for the UP case (gcc should manage to optimize away these calls).  No
changes in module.c.

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