delete an unneeded sentence.

locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface

2015-08-03T09:34:15+00:00

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 define 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.

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

This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us
performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

locking/static_keys: Add static_key_{en,dis}able() helpers

2015-08-03T09:34:14+00:00

Add two helpers to make it easier to treat the refcount as boolean.

jump_label, locking/static_keys: Rename JUMP_LABEL_TYPE_* and related helpers to the static_key* pattern

2015-08-03T09:34:13+00:00

Rename the JUMP_LABEL_TYPE_* macros to be JUMP_TYPE_* and move the
inline helpers into kernel/jump_label.c, since that's the only place
they're ever used.

Also rename the helpers where it's all about static keys.

This is the second step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

jump_label: Rename JUMP_LABEL_{EN,DIS}ABLE to JUMP_LABEL_{JMP,NOP}

2015-08-03T09:34:12+00:00

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.

This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.

This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

jump_label: Allow jump labels to be used in assembly

2015-04-09T07:40:24+00:00

To use jump labels in assembly we need the HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
define, so we select a fallback version if the toolchain does
not support them.

Modify linux/jump_label.h so it can be included by assembly
files. We also need to add -DCC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO to KBUILD_AFLAGS.

include/linux/jump_label.h: expose the reference count

2014-06-04T23:54:08+00:00

This patch exposes the jump_label reference count in preparation for the
next patch.  cpusets cares about both the jump_label being enabled and how
many users of the cpusets there currently are.
