Subject: arch/x86: Add ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49f88c70edccf4c967697597e0b99072dc4007c2;p=linux.git

arch/x86: Add ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option

The x86 architecture uses an add-to-memory instruction to implement
this_cpu_add(), which is NMI safe.  This means that the old and
more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be used in NMI context, without
the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe().  Therefore, add the new Kconfig
option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS to arch/x86/Kconfig, which will
cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be deselected, thus preserving the current
srcu_read_lock() behavior.
