[PATCH 01/13] static_call: Index code text reservation lookups
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 14:52:11 EST
Text reservation checks scan every static call site. Build an address-sorted
index for core text sites and use binary search to find the starting point
near the requested range.
Module indexing is intentionally unsupported. Module reservation checks
continue to use a linear scan, avoiding per-module index allocation and
teardown complexity.
