[PATCH 2/3] mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Mon Oct 26 2020 - 13:34:15 EST


Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key")
changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function
is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not
eliminated when page poisoning is disabled.

Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts
page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces
page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined.

Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc
for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to
init_mem_debugging() to enable a single static key instead of having two
static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().
