Ugh. I pulled it, but things like this makes me want to dig my eyes
out with a spoon:
+#ifdef finish_arch_post_lock_switch
+ finish_arch_post_lock_switch();
+#endif
when I think the proper thing to do would have been to move the
#ifndef that creates an empty finish_arch_post_lock_switch() from
kernel/sched/sched.h to some common file, or possibly even just
duplicate it.
I detest #ifdef's in the middle of code. Yes, we do have them, but we
should try to avoid adding more of them.
Maybe we could have a <linux/mmu_context.h> that includes the
<asm/mmu_context.h> and then does that "let's add the dummy function
for architectures that don't need it"?
Added Ingo to the cc, since this ends up intersecting with the
scheduler code that now does the wrapper on its own.
