[RFC][PATCH 6/7] jump_label: Add a new static_key interface

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Jul 24 2015 - 14:02:12 EST


There are various problems and short-comings with the current
static_key interface:

- static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key
value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on
init value.

- static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the
static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}.

- we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to
a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly
emits.

So provide a new static_key interface:

DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

Which defines a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.

Then allow:

static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()

to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case.

This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper
which emits a JMP per default.

XXX for archs that have variable width jmp encodings, please veryify
the right sized jump is emitted.

In order to determine the right instruction for the right state,
encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key.
