backports: address jump label and static key support
The ieee802154 subsystem, which we backport, makes use of net_get_random_once() through net/ieee802154/reassembly.c and this in turn makes use of the static keys. Static keys were split out from the jump label support via commit c5905afb by Ingo through kernel v3.3 -- note that git describe --contains will disagree and say its v3.5. Jump label support was added by Jason via commit bf5438fc through kernel v2.6.37 but later Jason provided static branch optimizations via commit d430d3d7e added through v3.0. static_key_initialized and STATIC_KEY_CHECK_USE() were last added by Hannes through kernel v3.13 throughy c4b2c0c5f. In order to backport static keys and jump label we need to provide name mapping for kernels that only had jump label support, but due to the static branch optimizations and since these are architecture specific we cannot backport them unless we start carrying around architecture replacement code -- or do some other trickery. For kernels that lacked jump label support and that don't have the static branch optimizations we simply carry in the kernel implmentation that assumes you have no architecture support for jump label which treats the labels as simply atomic drivers for branches. For older kernels then we don't backport usage of static_key_initialized and usage of STATIC_KEY_CHECK_USE(). This does leave a gap of kernels without static key / jump label support, I tried backporting it but ran into issues quickly. Those daring to continue to embark on this journey can pick up where I left off: [0] drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/examples/2014/04/01/backport-static-keys.patch I will note that properly backporting this can have implications on how we backport tracing support as that is the main usage for jump labels. Real enthusiasts can go ahead an extend this with architecture / kernel revision specific changes -- but be warned -- we will have hard litmus test for compilation on backports using ckmake --allyesconfig on all supported kernels we carry. This is a long way of saying -- we require at least 3.5 for static key support, we also support kernels older than 2.6.37 but this goes untested. mcgrof@ergon ~/linux (git::master)$ git describe --contains bf5438fc v2.6.37-rc1~214^2~33^2~8 mcgrof@ergon ~/linux (git::master)$ git describe --contains d430d3d7e v3.0-rc1~404^2~18^2~2 mcgrof@ergon ~/linux (git::master)$ git describe --contains c5905afb v3.5-rc1~120^3~76^2 -- wrong!

+ * c5905afb - v3.5 - git describe --contains c5905afb claims but not true!

+ *
+ * Because all of this we skip 2.6.37 - 3.3 but and adding support for older

+ * Jump labels provide an interface to generate dynamic branches using
+ * self-modifying code. Assuming toolchain and architecture support the result
+ * of a "if (static_key_false(&key))" statement is a unconditional branch (which
+ * defaults to false - and the true block is placed out of line).
+ *
+ * However at runtime we can change the branch target using
+ * static_key_slow_{inc,dec}(). These function as a 'reference' count on the key
+ * object and for as long as there are references all branches referring to
+ * that particular key will point to the (out of line) true block.
+ *
+ * Since this relies on modifying code the static_key_slow_{inc,dec}() functions
+ * must be considered absolute slow paths (machine wide synchronization etc.).
+ * OTOH, since the affected branches are unconditional their runtime overhead
+ * will be absolutely minimal, esp. in the default (off) case where the total
+ * effect is a single NOP of appropriate size. The on case will patch in a jump
+ * to the out-of-line block.
+ *
+ * When the control is directly exposed to userspace it is prudent to delay the
+ * decrement to avoid high frequency code modifications which can (and do)
+ * cause significant performance degradation. Struct static_key_deferred and
+ * static_key_slow_dec_deferred() provide for this.
+ *
+ * Lacking toolchain and or architecture support, it falls back to a simple
+ * conditional branch.
+ *
+ * struct static_key my_key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
+ *
+ * if (static_key_true(&my_key)) {
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in the true case being in-line and starts the key with a single
+ * reference. Mixing static_key_true() and static_key_false() on the same key is not
+ * allowed.
+ *
+ * Not initializing the key (static data is initialized to 0s anyway) is the
+ * same as using STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE.
