Here's the 2.6.23 version:


Subject: x86: fix missing exception entry for SMP alternatives in futex macros
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The exception fixup for the futex macros __futex_atomic_op2 and
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is missing an entry when the lock
prefix is replaced by a NOP via SMP alternatives.

Chuck Ebert tracked this down from the information provided in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429412

The solution is to add another fixup after the LOCK_PREFIX, so both
the LOCK and NOP case have their own entry in the exception table.

The solution was pointed out by Andi Kleen.
