[PATCH] fix i386 mutex fastpath on FRAME_POINTER && !DEBUG_MUTEXES
Call the mutex slowpath more conservatively - e.g. FRAME_POINTERS can change the calling convention, in which case a direct branch to the slowpath becomes illegal. Bug found by Hugh Dickins. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
