	Fix typo in sync_constant_test_bit()'s name, so sync_bitops.h is consistent with bitops.h Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-09-26	[PATCH] x86: implement always-locked bit ops, for memory shared with an SMP hypervisor	Chris Wright	1	-0/+156
	Add "always lock'd" implementations of set_bit, clear_bit and change_bit and the corresponding test_and_ functions. Also add "always lock'd" implementation of cmpxchg. These give guaranteed strong synchronisation and are required for non-SMP kernels running on an SMP hypervisor.
