I think best would be to just find some way to implement LOCK prefix patching using atomic compiler intrinsics and then switch to those
Then all this inline assembler horror could be ifdef'ed away for old compilers only, and likely the generated code would be better as the compiler could optimize more. Or just give up on LOCK patching, as single CPU systems and VMs are less and less interesting? -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
