* static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and ↵Ingo Molnar2012-02-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* jump label: Add _ASM_ALIGN for x86 and x86_64Jason Baron2011-04-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The linker should not be adding holes to word size aligned pointers, but out of paranoia we are explicitly specifying that alignment. I have not seen any holes in the jump label section in practice.

* jump label: Introduce static_branch() interfaceJason Baron2011-04-041-11/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce: static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key); instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro. In this way, jump labels become really easy to use: Define: struct jump_label_key jump_key; Can be used as: if (static_branch(&jump_key)) do unlikely code enable/disale via: jump_label_inc(&jump_key); jump_label_dec(&jump_key); that's it! For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(), atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct. Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write. Testing: I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3 configurations, where tracepoints were disabled. jump label configured in avg: 815.6 jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads) avg: 800.1 jump label *not* configured in (regular reads) avg: 803.4 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <20110316212947.GA8792@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Suggested-by: H.

* x86: Fix jump label with RO/NX module protection crashmatthieu castet2011-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* jump label: Remove duplicate structure for x86Steven Rostedt2010-09-221-11/+1
| | | | | | | | The structure in the x86 jump label code uses the typedef jump_label_t, which is defined by the #ifdef arch type. The structure does not need to be duplicated there. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* jump label: x86 supportJason Baron2010-09-221-0/+47
add x86 support for jump label. I'm keeping this patch separate so its clear to arch maintainers what was required for x86 support this new feature. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too painful for other archs.
