Here is the warning converted as error and reported by GCC:
kernel/static_call.c: In function ‘__static_call_update’:
kernel/static_call.c:153:18: error: unused variable ‘mod’ [-Werror=unused-variable]
153 | struct module *mod = site_mod->mod;
| ^~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:271: kernel/static_call.o] Error 1
This is simply because since recently, we no longer use 'mod' variable
elsewhere if MODULE is unset.
When using 'make tinyconfig' to generate the default kconfig, MODULE is
unset.
There are different ways to fix this warning. Here I tried to minimised
the number of modified lines and not add more #ifdef. We could also move
the declaration of the 'mod' variable inside the if-statement or
directly use site_mod->mod.

Sites that match init_section_contains() get marked as INIT. For
built-in code init_sections contains both __init and __exit text. OTOH
kernel_text_address() only explicitly includes __init text (and there
are no __exit text markers).
Match what jump_label already does and ignore the warning for INIT
sites. Also see the excellent changelog for commit: 8f35eaa5f2
("jump_label: Don't warn on __exit jump entries")

The intent is to avoid writing init code after init (because the text
might have been freed). The code is needlessly different between
jump_label and static_call and not obviously correct.
The existing code relies on the fact that the module loader clears the
init layout, such that within_module_init() always fails, while
jump_label relies on the module state which is more obvious and
matches the kernel logic.

It turns out that static_call_set_init() does not preserve the other
flags; IOW. it clears TAIL if it was set.

Provided the target address of a R_X86_64_PC32 relocation is aligned,
the low two bits should be invariant between the relative and absolute
value.
Turns out the address is not aligned and things go sideways, ensure we
transfer the bits in the absolute form when fixing up the key address.

When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called. This is
not desirable in general.
Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.
Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.
Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

Provide a stub function that return 0 and wire up the static call site
patching to replace the CALL with a single 5 byte instruction that
clears %RAX, the return value register.
The function can be cast to any function pointer type that has a
single %RAX return (including pointers). Also provide a version that
returns an int for convenience. We are clearing the entire %RAX register
in any case, whether the return value is 32 or 64 bits, since %RAX is
always a scratch register anyway.

Functions that are passed to early_initcall should be of type
initcall_t, which expects a return type of int. This is not currently an
error but a patch in the Clang LTO series could change that in the
future.

In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to
initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy
some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this.
Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there
are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the
sites and allows us to run much earlier.

GCC can turn our static_call(name)(args...) into a tail call, in which
case we get a JMP.d32 into the trampoline (which then does a further
tail-call).
Teach objtool to recognise and mark these in .static_call_sites and
adjust the code patching to deal with this.

Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE
option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At
runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using
the out-of-line trampolines.
Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more
modest, but still measurable. Steven Rostedt did some tracepoint
measurements:

This code is heavily inspired by the jump label code (aka "static
jumps"), as some of the concepts are very similar.
For more details, see the comments in include/linux/static_call.h.
