hello list, I've seen that there are two section (.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement), there are some "polimorphic" code that is replaced at runtime, now in arch/x86_64/lib/copy_user.S there are copy_user_generic_unrolled and copy_user_generic_string, that replaces the function that is used, my question is: where and how the decision on what code is used (in this case copy_user_generic_unrolled or copy_user_generic_string) for replace code? thanks in advance. -- noone is alone. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
