locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface
commit 11276d5306b8e5b438a36bbff855fe792d7eaa61 upstream. 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.
