export __get_user_pages_fast() function
commit 45888a0c6edc305495b6bd72a30e66bc40b324c6 upstream. Backport for stable kernel v2.6.32.y to v2.6.36.y. Needed for next patch: oprofile, x86: Fix nmi-unsafe callgraph support This function is used by KVM to pin process's page in the atomic context. Define the 'weak' function to avoid other architecture not support it Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
