[RFC][PATCH 0/7] jump_label: Another (better) static_key interface

[Peter Zijlstra]

Hi all,

After yet another bug because of the weirdness of the static key interface,
here an attempt at providing a better one.

This is boot tested on x86_64, bzImage works, modules have a problem. It looks
like jump_label_add_module() runs into a 'wrong' NOP, which would indicate
jump_label_apply_nops() didn't work right.

I'm too tired to spot the fail, so I figured I'd post it anyway :-)

Beware: x86_64_defconfig has CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n.

@arch people, please have a look at patch 6 where I've attempted to do
inline asm for all kinds of unknown archs.
