From: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> As requested by Linus, update all architectures to add the common infrastructure. Tested on ia64 and i386. Enable interrupts while waiting for a disabled spinlock, but only if interrupts were enabled before issuing spin_lock_irqsave(). This patch consists of three sections :- * An architecture independent change to call _raw_spin_lock_flags() instead of _raw_spin_lock() when the flags are available. * An ia64 specific change to implement _raw_spin_lock_flags() and to define _raw_spin_lock(lock) as _raw_spin_lock_flags(lock, 0) for the ASM_SUPPORTED case. * Patches for all other architectures and for ia64 with !ASM_SUPPORTED to map _raw_spin_lock_flags(lock, flags) to _raw_spin_lock(lock). Architecture maintainers can define _raw_spin_lock_flags() to do something useful if they want to enable interrupts while waiting for a disabled spinlock.
