[PATCH] x86-64: get rid of ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK
ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch . This arch needs to place a read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page. This read only copy is named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias. So the declaration of xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define, defined to true on x86_64. We can get same result with _attribute__((weak)) in the declaration. linker should do the job.
