      locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface · 11276d53
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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:
      
        a833581e ("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.

      jump_label: Allow asm/jump_label.h to be included in assembly · 55dd0df7
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Wrap asm/jump_label.h for all archs with #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__.
      Since these are kernel only headers, we don't need #ifdef
      __KERNEL__ so can simplify things a bit.
      
      If an architecture wants to use jump labels in assembly, it
      will still need to define a macro to create the __jump_table
      entries (see ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH in the powerpc asm/jump_label.h
      for an example).

      x86/jump-label: Use best default nops for inital jump label calls · c3c7f14a
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      As specified by H. Peter Anvin, the best nops for x86 without knowing
      the running computer is:
      
      32bit:
        0x3e, 0x8d, 0x74, 0x26, 0x00 also known as GENERIC_NOP5_ATOMIC
      
      64bit:
        0x0f, 0x1f, 0x44, 0x00, 0x00  also known as P6_NOP5_ATOMIC
      
      Currently the default nop that is used by jump label is:
      
       0xe9 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      
      Which is really a 5byte jump to the next position.
      
      It's better to use a real nop than a jmp.

      static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and... · c5905afb
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
      
      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.

      x86: Fix jump label with RO/NX module protection crash · 89696913
      matthieu castet 提交于
      If we use jump table in module init, there are marked
      as removed in __jump_table section after init is done.
      
      But we already applied ro permissions on the module, so
      we can't modify a read only section (crash in
      remove_jump_label_module_init).
      
      Make the __jump_table section rw.
