91 * The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
92 * LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
93 *
94 * SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
95 * alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
96 * UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
97 * works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
98 *
99 * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
100 * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
101 * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
102 * useful in virtualized environments.
103 *
104 * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
105 * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
106 * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
