So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

Since in a later patch I intend to call jump labels inside
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, IA64 would fail to compile if they are not
provided. This patch provides those jump labels for the IA64
architecture.

add sched_clock() hook to paravirtualize sched_clock().
ia64 sched_clock() is based on ar.itc which isn't stable
on virtualized environment because vcpu may move around on
pcpus. So it needs paravirtualization.

They include sensitive or performance critical privileged instructions

To paravirtualize them by single source and multi compile
they are converted into indirect jump. And define each pv instances.
