x86: spinlock use LOCK_PREFIX
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since we are now using DS prefixes instead of NOP to remove LOCK
prefixes, there is no longer any problems with instruction boundaries
moving around.

Unless there a rationale for this, I think these be changed to LOCK_PREFIX
too.

grep "lock ;" include/asm-x86/spinlock.h
         "lock ; cmpxchgw %w1,%2\n\t"
  asm volatile("lock ; xaddl %0, %1\n"
         "lock ; cmpxchgl %1,%2\n\t"

Applies to 2.6.27-rc2.
