[PATCH] RCU: clean up a few remaining synchronize_kernel() calls
2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not all) in comments. This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows: - arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use. - drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler. Again, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use. - include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it... - include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this comment is for list_del_rcu(). - security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side. - security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.
