On architectures where there seems to be no difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes duplicated code from the current kernel tree. These patches apply on 2.6.20-rc5-git4. It depends on the patch "atomic.h : standardising atomic primitives" Signed-off-by : Mathieu Desnoyers - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
