ksymoops breaks when compiling uniprocessor. spinlocks in sched.c are
declared but unused, this leads to extra 'U' entries at the beginning of
System.map, which in turn confuses ksymoops.
i've put those spinlocks into #ifdef __SMP__, but i think a more correct
solution would be to do something like this:
in asm/spinlock.h:
#ifdef __SMP__
# define DECLARE_SPINLOCK(name) spinlock_t name
#else
# define DECLARE_SPINLOCK(name)
#endif
sched.c:
DECLARE_SPINLOCK( runqueue_lock=SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED );
static spinlocks cant be defined this way, is that a problem?
