locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface
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.
