WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x4c71): Section mismatch in
reference from the function arch_jump_label_transform_static() to the
function .init.text:text_poke_early()
The function arch_jump_label_transform_static() references

This is often because arch_jump_label_transform_static lacks a __init

b202952075 perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patching
jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.

When te user runs a loop like this:

  "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"

... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.

This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.

Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.

This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.

I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

20284aa77c jump_label: add arch_jump_label_transform_static() to optimise non-live code updates
When updating a newly loaded module, the code is definitely not yet
executing on any processor, so it can be updated with no need for any
heavyweight synchronization.

This patch adds arch_jump_label_static() which is implemented as
arch_jump_label_transform() by default, but architectures can override
it if it avoids, say, a call to stop_machine().

7cbc5b8d4a jump_label: Check entries limit in __jump_label_update
When iterating the jump_label entries array (core or modules),
the __jump_label_update function peeks over the last entry.

The reason is that the end of the for loop depends on the key
value of the processed entry. Thus when going through the
last array entry, we will touch the memory behind the array
limit.

This bug probably will never be triggered, since most likely the
memory behind the jump_label entries will be accesable and the
entry->key will be different than the expected value.

d430d3d7e6 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.

jump label configured in
avg: 815.6

jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads)
avg: 800.1

jump label *not* configured in (regular reads)
avg: 803.4

91bad2f8d3 jump label: Fix deadlock b/w jump_label_mutex vs. text_mutex
register_kprobe() downs the 'text_mutex' and then calls
jump_label_text_reserved(), which downs the 'jump_label_mutex'.
However, the jump label code takes those mutexes in the reverse
order.

Fix by requiring the caller of jump_label_text_reserved() to do
the jump label locking via the newly added: jump_label_lock(),
jump_label_unlock(). Currently, kprobes is the only user
of jump_label_text_reserved().

b842f8faf6 jump label: Fix module __init section race
Jump label uses is_module_text_address() to ensure that the module
__init sections are valid before updating them. However, between the
check for a valid module __init section and the subsequent jump
label update, the module's __init section could be freed out from under
us.

We fix this potential race by adding a notifier callback to the
MODULE_STATE_LIVE state. This notifier is called *after* the __init
section has been run but before it is going to be freed. In the
callback, the jump label code zeros the key value for any __init jump
code within the module, and we add a check for a non-zero key value when
we update jump labels. In this way we require no additional data
structures.

Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out this race condition.

bf5438fca2 jump label: Base patch for jump label
base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.
