jump label: Introduce static_branch() interface
Introduce:
static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);
instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.
In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:
Define:
struct jump_label_key jump_key;
Can be used as:
if (static_branch(&jump_key))
do unlikely code
enable/disale via:
jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
that's it!
For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.
Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.
Testing:
I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.
