<title>locking/static_key: Don't take sleeping locks in __static_key_slow_dec_deferred()</title>

Changing jump_label state is protected by jump_label_lock().
Rate limited static_key_slow_dec(), however, will never
directly call jump_label_update(), it will schedule a delayed
work instead.  Therefore it's unnecessary to take both the
cpus_read_lock() and jump_label_lock().

This allows static_key_slow_dec_deferred() to be called
from atomic contexts, like socket destructing in net/tls,
without the need for another indirection.

static_key_slow_dec() checks if the atomic enable count is larger
than 1, and if so there decrements it before taking the jump_label_lock.
Move this logic into a helper for reuse in rate limitted keys.

Add deferred static branches.  We can't unfortunately use the
nice trick of encapsulating the entire structure in true/false
variants, because the inside has to be either struct static_key_true
or struct static_key_false.  Use defines to pass the appropriate
members to the helpers separately.

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Commit 19483677684b ("jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on
__init code earlier") refactored the code that manages runtime
patching of jump labels in modules that are tied to static keys
defined in other modules or in the core kernel.

In the latter case, we may iterate over the static_key_mod linked
list until we hit the entry for the core kernel, whose 'mod' field
will be NULL, and attempt to dereference it to get at its 'state'
member.

So let's add a non-NULL check: this forces the 'init' argument of
__jump_label_update() to false for static keys that are defined in
the core kernel, which is appropriate given that __init annotated
jump_label entries in the core kernel should no longer be active
at this point (i.e., when loading modules).

Fixes: 19483677684b ("jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on ...")

Jump table entries are mostly read-only, with the exception of the
init and module loader code that defuses entries that point into init
code when the code being referred to is freed.

For robustness, it would be better to move these entries into the
ro_after_init section, but clearing the 'code' member of each jump
table entry referring to init code at module load time races with the
module_enable_ro() call that remaps the ro_after_init section read
only, so we'd like to do it earlier.

So given that whether such an entry refers to init code can be decided
much earlier, we can pull this check forward. Since we may still need
the code entry at this point, let's switch to setting a low bit in the
'key' member just like we do to annotate the default state of a jump
table entry.

<title>jump_label: Implement generic support for relative references</title>

To reduce the size taken up by absolute references in jump label
entries themselves and the associated relocation records in the
.init segment, add support for emitting them as relative references
instead.

Note that this requires some extra care in the sorting routine, given
that the offsets change when entries are moved around in the jump_entry
table.
