So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

Since in a later patch I intend to call jump labels inside
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, IA64 would fail to compile if they are not
provided. This patch provides those jump labels for the IA64
architecture.

implement binary patching optimization for pv_cpu_ops.
With this optimization, indirect call for pv_cpu_ops methods can be
converted into inline execution or direct call.

add sched_clock() hook to paravirtualize sched_clock().
ia64 sched_clock() is based on ar.itc which isn't stable
on virtualized environment because vcpu may move around on
pcpus. So it needs paravirtualization.

Add two hooks, paravirt_get_fsyscall_table() and
paravirt_get_fsys_bubble_doen() to paravirtualize fsyscall implementation.
This patch just add the hooks fsyscall and don't paravirtualize it.

The macro get_irq_chip() is defined in linux/include/linux/irq.h
which cause name conflict with one in linux/arch/ia64/include/asm/paravirt.h.
rename the latter to __get_irq_chip().

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.
