2020-10-02static_call: Fix return type of static_call_initNathan Chancellor1-2/+3
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.

2020-09-01static_call: Allow early initPeter Zijlstra1-4/+66
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.

2020-09-01static_call: Handle tail-callsPeter Zijlstra1-8/+13
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.

2020-09-01static_call: Avoid kprobes on inline static_call()sPeter Zijlstra1-0/+68
Similar to how we disallow kprobes on any other dynamic text (ftrace/jump_label) also disallow kprobes on inline static_call()s.

2020-09-01static_call: Add inline static call infrastructureJosh Poimboeuf1-0/+303
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: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126155405.72b4f718@gandalf.local.home 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.
