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.

160 * Clear and restore the kernel write-protection flag on the local CPU.
161 * Allows the kernel to edit read-only pages.
162 * Side-effect: any interrupt handler running between save and restore will have
163 * the ability to write to read-only pages.
166 * Code patching in the UP case is safe if NMIs and MCE handlers are stopped and
167 * no thread can be preempted in the instructions being modified (no iret to an
168 * invalid instruction possible) or if the instructions are changed from a
169 * consistent state to another consistent state atomically.
170 * More care must be taken when modifying code in the SMP case because of
171 * Intel's errata. text_poke_smp() takes care that errata, but still
172 * doesn't support NMI/MCE handler code modifying.
173 * On the local CPU you need to be protected again NMI or MCE handlers seeing an
174 * inconsistent instruction while you patch.
