arm64: Support PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
This patch enables support for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on arm64, allowing the preemption model to be chosen at boot time. Specifically, this patch selects HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_KEY, so that each preemption function is an out-of-line call with an early return depending upon a static key. This leaves almost all the codegen up to the compiler, and side-steps a number of pain points with static calls (e.g. interaction with CFI schemes). This should have no worse overhead than using non-inline static calls, as those use out-of-line trampolines with early returns. For example, the dynamic_cond_resched() wrapper looks as follows when enabled. When disabled, the first `B` is replaced with a `NOP`, resulting in an early return. | <dynamic_cond_resched>: | bti c | b <dynamic_cond_resched+0x10> // or `nop` | mov w0, #0x0 | ret | mrs x0, sp_el0 | ldr x0, [x0, #8] | cbnz x0, <dynamic_cond_resched+0x8> | paciasp | stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! | mov x29, sp | bl <preempt_schedule_common> | mov w0, #0x1 | ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16 | autiasp | ret ... compared to the regular form of the function: | <__cond_resched>: | bti c | mrs x0, sp_el0 | ldr x1, [x0, #8] | cbz x1, <__cond_resched+0x18> | mov w0, #0x0 | ret | paciasp | stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! | mov x29, sp | bl <preempt_schedule_common> | mov w0, #0x1 | ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16 | autiasp | ret Since arm64 does not yet use the generic entry code, we must define our own `sk_dynamic_irqentry_exit_cond_resched`, which will be enabled/disabled by the common code in kernel/sched/core.c. All other preemption functions and associated static keys are defined there.
