static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called
Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could have unforeseen consequences. Following primitives are now checked for correct use: * static_key_slow_inc * static_key_slow_dec * static_key_slow_dec_deferred * jump_label_rate_limit The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this. Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner. All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check does no harm to performance. The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk. Based on a patch from Andi Kleen.
