From 5bbd4c3724008c93cf3efdfc38a3402e245ab506 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:56:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86: spinlock use LOCK_PREFIX 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. * Linus Torvalds (torvalds@linux-foundation.org) wrote: > > > On Thu, 14 Aug 2008, Mathieu Desnoyers wrote: > > > > Changing the 0x90 (single-byte nop) currently used into a 0x3E DS segment > > override prefix should fix this issue.
