[ Upstream commit 73f44fe19d359635a607e8e8daa0da4001c1cfc2 ]
When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called. This is
not desirable in general.
Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.
Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.
Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to
initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy
some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this.
Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there
are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the
sites and allows us to run much earlier.

Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common
pattern:
if (func_ptr)
func_ptr(args...)
For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the
JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call.
For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5.
NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type.
NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed
to a full function.

Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE
option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At
runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using
the out-of-line trampolines.
Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more
modest, but still measurable. Steven Rostedt did some tracepoint
measurements:

This code is heavily inspired by the jump label code (aka "static
jumps"), as some of the concepts are very similar.
